I really like this plugin because of its smooth functionality and unique image display quality. Shutter Reloaded essentially darkens the current page and displays an image on top of it. This contrast makes images stand out and also look more appealing. Very cool plug-in indeed.

WordPress also has its own photo album that people can utilize instead of using Flickr. This plugin makes creating and moving photo albums much easier, simpler and faster. Blog owners also gain the ability to adjust the sizes of thumbnails and full size pictures as they see fit.

7. Flipping Book

This is without a doubt one of my favorite image plugins for blogs, mainly due to the extremely unique and innovative way it displays images to the end user. Rather than displaying images in a standard way, Flipping Book displays them in the form of pages from a book that can be “flipped” with an ease to view other pictures. It’s amazingly simple and very cool to use. You can create multiple “books” using this plugin.
