Ten Photographers' Uses for a Towel

1. Dry off your photo gear after shooting in the rain.
2. Put it in your lap when you eat in the car.
3. Put it on the ground before lying down to get a shot.
4. Keep your hand cool while unscrewing a light bulb.
5. Put over your laptop screen and use the towel as a hood when you are editing outside on a sunny day.
6. Use as a plain background to shoot something small.
7. Keep your gear clean and dry on the passenger-side floor of your car.
8. Wipe the muck off your shoes when you leave a construction zone or farm.
9. Wipe off the trunk of your car before you open it - it keeps snow or rain from getting into your trunk.
10. Clean off the front of your lens or your glasses.

An older towel has less lint, so a great source for a photographer-friendly towel is a thrift store.
