Photographer’s Lens Hood Falls on Ice in Hockey Game, Mistaken for Second Puck

If you are shooting an ice hockey game, maybe make sure your lens hood doesn’t fall through the glass cutout and onto the ice.

This embarrassed photographer lost his lens hood and confused the hockey players into thinking there was another puck out on the ice. It resulted in stopping the game and the ref returned the offending lens hood back to the photographer.

A common scenario for producing lens flare is shooting into the sun.

In the above video, Karl Taylor shows us examples of lens flare and how to use a lens hood to avoid it. The lens hood serves the dual purpose of protecting the end of the lens in the field.
