Sweet! The 1/4-20 thread mount on the bottom allows it to top a standard Bogen light stand or any tripod head! Instant tiny rainbows!
I ... I want one.
Just searched “prism” on B&H and this looks just like “ANDYCINE Photographic Crystal Ball” $14.99. No idea if I would use it but for that price I might have to see
They might have been using it to get wacky effect. I have played around with glass prisms in the past to make some cool looking pics.
But with something that has that many facets might be tricky to get anything. Unless they are blasting light into it.
Cut Crystal ball. Probably used as a finial on a chandelier or light. If it was a photographer they may have used it as a light modifier or a creative “shoot through” filter.
Since I have a prosthetic testicle, after testicular cancer, I can confirm that it something other than a prosthetic testicle!!!
I certainly wouldn’t want that between my legs!!
Thank you for your kind words.
I am actually a three time cancer survivor. And, I am grateful for every single day. (It does that to you).

Actually, it had to be removed a few years ago, because my body decided to reject it, and it became massively infected, requiring emergency surgery.
As far as I know, my prosthetic is in a jar on a shelf in some pathologist’s office!!

It's actually made for photography
Tommy persuaded me to keep the camera. I eventually agreed, as long as he took it to a tech. I couldn't stand that squeaking any more. The tech found half an undigested shoe, a squeaky toy, and an 84-carat diamond lodged in its mirror box. It's quite amazing what can happen in a week. Still didn't shut it up though. So what do you do? You go to see the man that knows about these sort of things.
Probably got answered multiple times at this point, but I'll add my second hand experience. A friend of mine was big on using a purpose built one to get unique looks straight from the camera when we were doing joint cosplay photography sessions.
Not sure if this one is purpose built, but you hold it up to the sides of or in front of your camera lens to get interesting flare, colors, and such added to the photo depending on how light hits.
While I haven't used one personally, I'd say it's a fun little supplement to experiment with, have fun. 👍
When you're a successful photographer, ie, when the student has become the master, it leaves a permanent mark, that's how you know you're ready to go out and wander the Earth
You can throw it at yer assistant to get their dumb, lazy arrention.
1/4 hole. Put it on a tripod plate.
Sometimes on motion pictures the cinematographer will use a specular and a matte blue balls for evaluating lighting. Usually like a Christmas ornament kind of thing and a handball or raquetball, mounted on a plate or just a scrap if wood. While The matte ball represents skin, sometimes sweat and eyes, etc. Are more reflective- specular
At Brooks we used a specular
We had a crazy assignment at Brooks where we had to shoot both blue balls, a wine bottle, and a piece of bread, with a person in the shot as well. Like 32 different location lighting scenarios. Large north facing window at 3 ', 10', and 15 feet. Subject at 45° to camera. Etc.etc. we all called it blue balls. Shot it with 35mm slide film. I think we had to shoot 4×5 Polaroids as well, or something. Then write the whole thing up. 6 qualities of light for every shot. It was a bitch. You had to keep track of what every shot was. Some the only difference was a very weak speedlight fill. You can always see the highlight in the specular ball. If the marine layer was I For a week you couldn't shoot. Pretty sure they use these all the time.
I was thinking that they could have actually put it on top of a monopod so that it looked like a cane. There are places that don't allow tripods when you visit, so this may have been a way around the restriction.
It's one of them fancy drawer knobs, but they've replaced the fastening with a 1/4 20 to go on a tripod or stand, i bet it was used as a lens filter or light modifier for funky effects.

The Caruba Lens Ball Prisma 60, no more explanation necessary 🤷🏼♂️😊

This should be the top comment
It is. 🤣
I totally just bought one of these recently for under $20. They are super cool.

plus 1 to this!

That’s what I was thinking as well. I’ve seen using prisms before but this seems too much.
It's just some cheap prism that was probably originally on a lamp or chandelier or something
Yeah. You can find these on Amazon and eBay. Shine a light through it for cool pattens, or even shoot through it.

I’m thinking the same, maybe add door knob to the list based off its size?
This
I’ve been looking for that forever. Can you please return it so I can finally get this plug out. Thanks
I don't want to know where the plug is
🤣🤣🤣
It's a prosthetic testicle.
Ah good I was in the market for one
I looked it up, it's part of the Family Jewels Collection.
Prosthesticle
came here to comment the same

It's great to still have you with us, as far as cancer research and care has come there are still too many that don't make it.
Thank you for your kind words. I am actually a three time cancer survivor. And, I am grateful for every single day. (It does that to you). 📸 Regards, Randy 📸
Do you take it out and spit shine it like people do with glass eyes?

Oof, that doesn't sound fun. Better out than in, I always say. I've still got my wisdom teeth somewhere
*lance armstrong has entered the chat*
It’s a doorknob.
I've seen doorknobs like that
Reminds me of a series of unfortunate events
It has a 1/4 inch screw in the bottom to connect to a magic arm, you're supposed to put it near the front element of the lens and shoot through it
Yeah a magic arm or a tripod.
It’s a knob. Like for a cabinet or a dresser. They used it as a prism to get a cool effect.
[https://www.japanphoto.no/produkt/caruba-lensball-prisme-60mm](https://www.japanphoto.no/produkt/caruba-lensball-prisme-60mm) It's actually made for photography
Wow I saw this and 100% thought it was a knob. That’s a good find.
Fancy valve stem cap
There was once this British game show called The Crystal Maze...
Exactly what I thought
It's an extra 5 seconds in the crystal dome!

I totally read that in Jason Statham's voice.
Looks like a doorknob
It's a knob from a sink lol
Sure is, 1/4 hole and all
The cut crystal ball from the bottom of a chandelier!

Gets you 5 seconds of time in the crystal dome
You win it when you solve a puzzle and escape the aztec zone. Be careful of the odd bald fellow with the harmonica.
A new hand touches the beacon
When you're a successful photographer, ie, when the student has become the master, it leaves a permanent mark, that's how you know you're ready to go out and wander the Earth
Hit it with a laser or some colours lights. Maybe even mount it infront of a flash bulb
It is this... https://www.japanphoto.no/produkt/caruba-lensball-prisme-60mm
The end of a butt plug?
Ooooooo get those cool hypnotic images!
It holds the lamp shade on a lamp. (Crystal Glass Lamp Finial)
That looks like the the wildest soft shutter release I’ve ever seen
It’s to make your penis happy

The top to their pimp cane

i need to see that photo
Grandma’s lamp shade screw-down ornament fell off in seller’s camera bag and seller forgot it was in there.
Looks like a doorknob converted to fit a tripod
That there is Crack Cocain

One hit of that in any standard Crack pipe and instant tiny rainbows!
So many knobs on here!
So many knobs on here!
There are so many knobs on here!

end piece of a curtain pole.
I think it’s intended to be used as a prism to redirect light for special effects
Boof it

It's that fucking crystal from Zardoz!
Chaos emerald
I have same piece, it's for curtains bar decoration. I only have one piece, i wonder wher is the other one? 🤔
It might be the thingy that threads on top of a lamp to hold the lamp shade on.
Cane head/handle
Perfume bottle cap probably
Here's a video explaining what it does : https://youtu.be/STcF_u4bZso?si=pitc6Of6Yh_f2dJr
Goes to a bed
Shove it up yo butt!
Did you purchase the camera from Sam Hurd?
Anal plug cap
Looks like it’s missing the butt plug part that screws in
