📷 What is a Lens hood for? - In About 2 Minutes - Simply Explained -

In this video I explain what a lens hood is for & What the different types of lens hoods are for. In about 2 minutes.

A lens hood is meant to prevent lens flaring and glare, it has a secondly purpose for protection. Some lens hood have black flocking (those ridges inside of some lens hoods) inside to help reduce extra glare aswell, I didnt cover this, but if you're looking for a quality lens hood, get one with flocking. Also, basically always shoot with your lens hood on, even in doors, a stray ray of light from a window could mess up your shot.. or that bright red sofa you just got could turn everything pink.

Let me know what you think about this explanation in the
