The role of the hood:
The hood is a commonly used photographic accessory set in front of the camera lens. It has the following functions:
1. It can prevent the entry of non-imaging light and avoid fog when shooting in backlight, side light or flash photography.
2. It can avoid the surrounding scattered light from entering the lens when shooting with forward light and side light.
3. In lighting photography or night photography, it can prevent the surrounding interference light from entering the lens.
4. It can prevent accidental damage to the lens, and it can also prevent fingers from accidentally touching the surface of the lens. It can also shield the lens from wind, sand, rain and snow to some extent.
Lens hoods are widely used in backlight photography, generally speaking, to avoid glare. However, if the light source is close, glare may still occur. At this time, you can use your hand to block the hood on the side where the light source is located. Whether the glare is eliminated, you must observe it clearly in the viewfinder.
