Camera Lens Hoods - Explained

Camera lens hoods in photography might seem a simple thing, but they can be very confusing for the beginner photographer. Do you need one? What lens hood should you buy for your lens? What are lens hoods for? Why use a lens hood? When do you use one? These are just some of the questions that get asked.

Today, courtesy of Marc from The School of Photography, he will answer all these questions for you to make sure you get the best results in your photography and are using the correct one for your lens. Read his excellent article here and also watch his YouTube demonstration here.

We also have a number of other training videos by Marc on our Tutorial Pages so be sure to check them out.
