Chapter 2: Detachable SLR Lenses and when to use them
2.5: The Lens Hood
The lens hood is not to be confused with a lens cap. The hood
shadows the lens and helps prevent lens flare from the sun. There
are times when it is not of any use to you and that is in flash
photography, where it can often create a shadow of itself at wide
angles especially when using the built in camera flash which is
low to the angle of the shot.
Often a lens hood used in conjunction with filters will create
vignette at wider angles and make sure it is correctly attached.
New hoods can sometimes need a bit of force to put them on, which
can often result in an improperly fitted lens hood. Trust me, I
have done this!
Let us now look at compositions and shooting techniques in the
next chapter.
