Lens Hood Camera
| Powered by phpBay Pro |
what does the lens hood on a camera actually do?
i have taken pictures with and without a lens hood and i cant see no difference.
A lens hood prevents stray light from hitting the lens and causing lens flare, as can happen when the sun or some other light source is to the side. It also offers some protection for the front element of your lens, although all lenses should have a HAZE/UV or Skylight 1A (uncoated) or 1B (coated) on at all times.
Can anyone explain why this would be considered a "bad" answer?
Is it acceptable to copy someone's answer and submit it even with credit?
