What Are Lens Hoods?

• Using a lens hood may prevent lens flares.

Have you ever seen a photograph littered with ghostly circles distracting from the photograph's focus? The reflection of excess light is responsible for these images. A photographer may employ many methods to prevent mistakes like this from occurring. One common method is the use of lens hoods.

Identification

• Lens hoods are conical shaped accessories that attach to the end of a lens. These hard plastic lens hoods typical come in two shapes: tubed or petal. Though most of these lens hoods screw into the end of a lens, some lens hoods attach with the use of clips.

Purpose

• A lens hood's main purpose is to shade the camera lens from excess light. Excess light may deteriorate the quality of the final photograph by lowering contrast, giving the picture a washed-out appearance. In some cases, excess light may cause sunspots or lens flares, artifacts that may be distracting in the final image. Telltale signs of lens flares are discolored shapes and streaks of light.

Advantages

• Lens hoods enable you to produce pictures with good contrast and vibrant colors. Your lens hood may also protect your camera lens from physical damage such as dents and scratches. You can think of your lens as a raincoat, protecting the lens from weather-related problems such as rain, snow and dust.

Availability

• Some new camera lenses come with a compatible lens hood. If you're purchasing a used or refurbished lens, check with the seller to see if the hood comes with the package. You can purchase replacement lens hoods from retailers such as Adorama, Ritz Camera and Amazon.com. The prices of lens hoods vary from $10 to $70, depending on the size, quality and type.

Tips

• You don't need lens hoods in dark areas where there's a complete absence of light. The hoods are also unnecessary when using a flash. Using a lens hood in these conditions may cause shadows to appear on the photograph. Another tip, if you're using a digital camera with a LCD screen, check the screen to ensure that the hood is not causing vignetting, darkening around the corners of the picture. Vignetting mostly occurs with longer lens hoods. In some cases, your lens hood may not be adequate to block excess light. Remedy this by using dark paper. Place the paper on the side of the lens nearest to the light source.

How to Use a Lens Hood

• Some photographers use round hoods at times to create artistic vignetting.

Flag this photoA lens hood is a tubelike camera accessory that helps keep unwanted and overly bright light out of particular shot. It also protects lenses from unsightly fingerprints, dust and scratches. A hood easily attaches onto a variety of lenses. Photographers use them most often with telephoto lenses due to the reduced field of view with these long-distance shots. Most hoods are either round or flower-shaped and both help to prevent light rays and lens flares from entering a shot.

Instructions

• Find a lens hood that matches your existing lenses. Look for the hood and filter size on the side or front portion of a particular lens. You can also take your camera into a retail shop to ensure you buy a hood that will attach onto the lenses you already own. Flower-shaped hood are more common when using telephoto lenses because round hoods may hinder the shorter field of view.

• Attach the lens hood to your camera by screwing it onto the front portion of your lens in a clockwise direction. To remove the hood, screw in the opposite direction.

• Shoot photographs with and without your lens hood attached to get a feel for the increased richness and sharpness you can achieve with a lens hood in bright-light situations. The lens hood will not hinder shutter speeds or aperture settings in any way.

• Practice taking photographs with both types of hoods. Flower-shaped hoods are common because you can use them with telephoto and wide angle lenses. Round hoods, on the other hand, tend to keep more stray light out of a shot but can cause vignetting. In essence, there is no ideal lens hood, so practice using both of them so you know which one to use in real-life settings that are often far from ideal.

Methods to Clean Mold on Camera Lens:

• Purchase a cleaning product. These include Clorox Germicidal Spray, Tilex Mildew Remover and 500 PSI Mask Scrub. You can use almost any product that removes mold on glasses or lenses. Read the warning label for the product you choose
• Rub the lens cloth over the camera lens. Remove any grime or dirt that is present. This will allow you to see the damage more clearly
• Dip one lens cloth in warm water. Squeeze out any surplus of water. Extra water can seep into the camera if not careful
• Wipe the lens with the damp cloth. Concentrate on the mold section and any small creases around the camera lens. This will move any remaining dirt
• Spray or pour a drop of cleaner on the second lens cloth. Polish the camera lens thoroughly. Cover ever part of the mold pores including around any creases
• Use the third lens cloth to wipe the moisture off. Towel it completely dry. Then store it in a safe, dry location
