This video is 7 years old and still the best explanation about the lens hood in the world. Brilliant!
Agreed!!
well did lens hoods change in the last 7 years?

😊
I know right!
OMG 7 years old😂
"No cap, but I leave the hood on" an educated savage
And that was a Dub
Shit was hard fr 💯
Gangsta 🚫🧢 Hood on ready to shoot 📷
A trill one
It’s 2022 this was filmed 9 years ago and this was by far the most straight to the point and informative video I’ve ever seen. Thank you for the help! 🙏🏻
This video is now 10 years old, and it's STILL the most useful explanation of lens hood use. YT should give some sort of special award for content this good.
watching in 2023 mid
This is like... the most efficient photography video on TH-cam. No time wasted, all information important.
Thanks Kat, that's my goal!
I swear it was the best photography video i watched so far. Also thanks for the minor tips throughout the video. Great content
Kat Blaque yes no unnecessary entertainment to be a “youtuber”.
I am so stoked i found you. I like the way you think.
Last week i took my petal hood with me, and it was cluttering the small bag i was using, and i wanted to keep it aside. I have a very large sturdy safety pin called a blanket pin (you can get tgem at Joa-Ann's and other craft stores). I hooked the hood with it and pinned it to my bag. I could also have pinned it through my belt loop or on my clothes. Cuz, as you said, its a GREAT lens cover replacement, but lengtg can be an issue.
Thanks for being the best photo guy on youtube!! ♡
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT!!! TO MANY YOUTUBI INSTA WANNA BE CELEBS DOING VIDEOS ABOUT INFORMATION THEY TAKE 1 0MINUTES TO Start finally taking about it, and most don't even know what they talking about !
As Phil Steele once said: “No cap, but I leave the hood on.”
And I live by that.
(4:54)
HAHAHA
Yeah I do that a LOT
more bars than lil uzi
HAHAHAHAHAHA

YES! Canon..... you SHOULD include that lens hood with the purchase of your lens!!!!
Suddenly ppl are obsessed with the word should.
Right? 1500 bux and they still make you pay 30 dollars more for a piece of plastic lol
How can they do business if your lenses are protected so well?
@@britneythao lens will still get protected without hood LMAO.... it is depends on who's the owner of the lens. If the owner clumsy then the lens gonna hurt so bad, but if the owner is someone like Peter McKinnon then the lens won't have any scratches
@@johnyyj8580 I LOVE Peter! He's such an expert photographer
Yes canon, if you’re listening: if we spend 500-1000 on a lens, throw in the plastic hood. Could not agree more. Great video, I’m a beginner photographer and have been wondering about this lately. Thank you so much for the explanation of the different types.
The other thing is lens hoods make you look like a pro even if you're not. I've had plenty of people clear the way for me so I can get in the perfect position for a shot. I'm always gracious and thank them of course but perception is reality. Battery grips help too, makes the camera look bigger.
Ahhhh...... But when they see the coke can, They don't want to run up and snatch your cam away from ya.. They'll just think it's a cheep cam not worth steeling ;)
@monkeyman522 That was a good story you shared in a good way and at right place :) So it's good thing to get a hood, so people clear the way for us, give us respect (they don't even care to know whether the person carrying the camera knows how to use it or not) :)
That's a good enough reason for me to get one of these babies :) thanks
Although true, I find that most people will do that whatever you're using, even a mobile phone. I think it is because almost everyone takes regular pictures these days now that there are some many ways of capturing images, meaning that there is more empathy towards photograpers.
I've considered getting a hood for this reason alone
you didnt ask me to subscribe and "like" your video.. therefore I subscribed and "liked" it. thanks for such a clean and clear informative video sir.
I agree wholeheartedly !
Same here!
Same
good content doesn't need to make those kind of requests
Agree! It's rare nowadays to see a TH-cam channel whose videos don't begin or end with SUBSCRIBE! LIKE! COMMENT! SHARE! Just show us a well made, informative video and we'll do that on our own.
It's crazy that this video is 10 years old and still better quality than most of what I see on TH-cam today on any subject.
Dude, with your style, I could watch you teach me typewriter maintenance. Great video!! it's nice to see a pro NOT recommend high end stuff from a manufacturer. New Fan!!
A concise explanation of practical,common sense application. Brilliant Phil, brilliant! Thanks
Thanks, Victor! You can find even more videos of mine, including many not on TH-cam, on my website at www.steeletraining.com
Victor Ralys that earns you a "subscribe" we get it victor😂😂
I was going to post the same sentiment,
but Victor stole my comment. Totally agree.
Another reason to use a lens hood is to help provide protection of rain hitting the lens for unwanted drops that can obscure the composition or the shot.
This is helpful a lot during sports photography when you cannot wait till the rain goes away and must take the shot. Many lenses such as L-Series have a certain degree of weather proofing(Dust/Water) so its not typically an issue .
Agree!
This guy seems so... Nice and calm. I understand why photographers get a bad rap or why some people just don't like them but this guy seems so nice and down to earth.
Photographer emotions matter :(
I met this guy recently at a bar. He was super nice
10 years later and still the best lens hood explanation video! Couldn't have been clearer !!
I've been shooting for many years (began in "film". . .yes film days), and have watched many photography videos here on TH-cam. . .I must say your clear, concise explanation of this topic was refreshing. No hype or attempt to be super cool, just an excellent discussion of the subject. Very down to earth and very valuable information, especially for anyone just getting started. Wish your videos were around when I first began shooting. . .all those years ago!
ever give a cheap disposable 35 MM camera to younger people and watch them, they will keep looking for the power button and cant figure out that its got film in it that must be advanced to the next frame. in 2012 i took some to china, dam those kids are not as smart as the world claims them to be. they gave up after the entire class had a try at turning it on, hahhaha, OMG they thought it was like smart phone.
@@ateam6486 I don't think being smart and not familiar with something and not being able to make it work is the same.
Film! 🎥 🎞 😮 was that like the old fashioned 'Charlie chaplin' days with no sound, everything was flickery and speckled, slightly speeded up and some old lady on a piano provided the thrilling sound effects?😊
So happy I finally found a channel on photography where it's to the point, explains all the things you need to know, without having to read hundreds of articles online! Great! :)
3 1/2 years after you posted this video. It remains outstanding. Well explained and thorough explanation. Thank you!
I look forward to going to view your other videos.
clark debear same
same here!
Thanks, Clark! You can find even more videos of mine, including many not on TH-cam, on my website at www.steeletraining.com
clark debear will
aside from the video, I'm surprised "Well explained and thorough explanation." was able to muster 156 likes.
People must love redundancy, or they like things that happen over and over again in short periods of time.
Since everyone else is pointing out how old the video is when they watched it, I guess I will to. It’s now been 10 years since this video was made. Bottom line, it is time less like light. What a lens hood does is not going to change unless the sun stops shining. Thank you very much for making this video, it is hugely informative. I never knew or thought about the peddle shape of my hood on my wide angle lens before. Now I know. Again, thank you for the video and keeping it posted.
Canon if you're listening? If I spend $1,000 on a lens you should throw in a $5 piece of plastic that only cost $1.37 to make that you in turn still way over charge $30 for... is the full statement there.
They do. I just got a canon 24mm L lens and it came with a hood.
@@brightondenevan3655 this video was made 8 years ago
@@domcarbs lol, it's almost as if Canon was listening 🤔
Great point and so true. Ita shameful that they aren't provided on these expensive lens
Make it 11 years now
This has to be one of the best, most well spoken and easy to understand review I've almost ever had.
Excellent presentation. I know everything you said there - but you have a good manner of explaining things, so I didn't switch off. Well, I say "I know everything you said", but I never thought of putting the lens hoods on the strap. Wholeheartedly agree on the price of lens hoods as an extra. They should be included, no matter what price the lens is.
Fusion Music
I completely agree. He explains things in perfect diction.
And I am a big lens hood user
Simple straightforward with some great personals insights! A decade later and this is still an excellent resource.
Buying a camera for my 11 year old daughter was a big enough challenge well, we chose the Canon 250D and since neither of us knew anything about cameras we had to go online for every bit of information, such as operating the camera with all the buttons and functions and about things like Lens Hoods....Anyway, we both have looked at some of your videos and put you on the top of our list for the best and clearest explanations of some of the many common sense questions in operating her new camera. You are the only person she has subscribed to and we look forward to viewing a lot more. Thank You...Amy and Rick
Damn this is a good video. You are really direct and to the point. There are so many awful reviews and product descriptions on youtube. You really nailed it. Great work.
Unemployed Philosopher, what an appropriate and honest name.
Other reviewers were just pretending to share knowledges and talk vital on issues.
They tried to share at the least possible, to keep you interest, meanwhile, stay ahead by keeping a few secrets to themselves.
Very clear and easy to understand.
This honestly is one of the best photography tutorials I've ever seen. You explained the perfect amount of information in the perfect amount of time
I would watch this guy talk about anything for hours because of the calm voice.
You are the Bob Ross of photography I love your voice
that lens cap storage was genius haha
Thanks mate. Great video.
Karl Rock did not expect to see you in the comment section
nahi chaiye ji
@@paulprince3014 😂😂😂
Probably first time Karl said, "Chahiye ji...."(Advice)
I watch your travel videos, they're great
1) Very clearly spoken to be understood for foreign users like me (from germany).
2) All questions I had on lens-hoods answered on the point.
Two points that are standing for a good video .... keep it that way. Great.
Thanks. Straight to the point ! That didn't even feel like an 8-min vid.
i agree ... so very well explained no stories or unnecessary examples.
DRIVECLUB-is-timeless Clear, concise, and to the point.
Because it felt like a 8 hour video
Just Kidding
Super super helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
TheCarPassionChannel why are you here Greg!? Need to be fixing your miata! Even though this is from two years ago😂
I can't believe I actually spend the whole 9 minutes watching him talking about lens hood! But they are on point & helpful.
After 10 years. Still one of the best hood video ever.
Here in Greece candidate teachers are giving exams on 2 things. Their knowledge and second their ability to transfer their knowledge with a simply way.
You Sir have both! Thank you!
awesome
Everything you need to know about Lens Hoods is right there in this video. Great tips.
Who'd a thought a video on lens hoods could be so informative and interesting? Great explanation without sounding like a "know it all." You are a great teacher!
Now this is a straight to the point easy to understand well made video. No bullshitting or yappy filler talk. Thats how its done.
Great video - to the point, very informative and without all the excess noise and caffeine-injected host.
You have a very soothing voice. :)
Thanks!
Thank you. I'm a very amateur photographer and had got my first DSLR (Canon 700D) in April. I've recently started playing around with different types of lenses, lens filters etc but haven't a clue what most of them actually do or what purpose they have. So thanks for this, I'll definitely buy a lens hood now.
Great video Phil. I am so glad to hear such an accomplished professional speaking the truth about overpriced OEM accessories. There is absolutely no reason for manufacturers to gouge loyal customers for replacement accessories. With the exception of the glass and camera bodies themselves, I now buy virtually everything from third party vendors - and recommend my students do the same. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it wasn't actually make in the same factory.
All I can say, is: *_''Smarter every day!''_* - on account of listening to individuals who *_KNOW_* what they're talking about! . . . .
Thanks a bunch Phil!😉👍
"You might as well be pointing a bazooka at them" that part just killed me 😂
I thought it was just me. Good to know.
Someone or something is always looking at us--but we can't see them. But we know they are there. We can feel it.
Thanks! Really helpful. 2013!! What a year!
Professional, concise, and to the point. You have no idea how long I've been looking for someone who can explain things without it being confusing or cracking stupid jokes every few seconds. Love your stuffs!
10 years later and, this beginner, determined to learn all things photography, found this video simplistic and VERY useful! Thank You if you’re still out there.
Very instructional video I've seen in a long time, let alone on TH-cam. No crazy 2 min intro. Clear and to the point and wonderfully composed and delivered. A breath of fresh air, thank you.
Incredibly helpfull and really really well explained! Thank you! :)
simply brilliant, no faffing around just straight facts and no begging for likes/subscribers
Short, sweet and to the point. This vid is proof that quality on TH-cam still exists
One point that wasn't really mentioned about when you don't want to use your lens hood: when you're leaving a warm area (say your car) to a cold area (outdoors), your lens hood has a tendancy to store heat in front of your lens that's coming off your front element. For telephoto shots this can really affect your contrast and blur your shots. Letting your camera cool down to the surrounding environment before putting the hood on can really help.
I liked the flexible rubber hood I had on my old Minolta. If you needed to shoot through a window, you could press it up against the glass to eliminate unwanted reflections.
I love the fact that you go straight to the point and use clear language. Other people could’ve stretched this video to 20 minutes.
Carrying the lens hood part is ultimate genius 😎
This was the best video on lens hoods I every watched - very good, thank you!!
Probably THE BEST explanation of a topic I never understood. Thanks!
One of the best explanations on lens hoods in TH-cam. Thank you!
The design of lens hoods explained so logically...also made me realise that I had just taken the design for granted without trying to figure out why they're shaped differently :D
Lets be honest, we use lense hood just to look pro
Edit: its a joke guys, why are you so salty ;)
Rindra's Vlogs 😂😂😂😂 true.
If you think that you are not serious about your craft or have no understanding
OR maybe it is a joke
TONYLOUISVISION & VIDEOGRAPHY PLUS lol i am just kidding dont be so triggered
MCPE Omega fix your grammar
best video I have seen yet. Lots of good information delivered in a concise fashion. Excellent video without lots of unnecessary chatting. thank you!
Everybody had already commented what I wanted to say on how helpful and efficient this video is. So, all I can say is thanks!
Aftet 9 years, this is still gold! Thanks a million
Lens hoods also stop rain getting on the lens.
my first ever subscription - the reason being that you are clear, concise and comprehensive. You also have a practical approach rather than advocating needless expense. Nice job
God, I love your videos. You are right to the point in what your video is about. So many other photographers spend 10 minutes talking about themselves and 5 minutes talking about the subject. You are the first photographer you tuber that I have subscribed to.
If only all videos we're this helpful. Great
Excellent tips and explanation and nicely presented thank you. Just the right pace. Great job!
I just accidentally found your video, great info most people doesn't even consider. Great work,
7 years after filming it´s still helpful and answered all my questions. Thanks a lot :)
It's been 10 years but still the explanation is awesome
Lucid and succinct. This presentation is the epitome of an informational and educational video. I hope Steeletraining has more of these videos on the why, when and how of the different features of cameras and their accessories. The gentleman in this video does not "hem and haw" but inspires confidence in his very unambiguous and intelligible presentation. Very well done. A real pleasure to see such a professional production. Congrats all around!
Nearly 6 years after you published this video, I found it. Something so rudimentary, but you explained it well. Thx. ~ va
I just bought a camera. I had no idea what this plastic was for. Now I know more than I ever expected I would learn in less than 9 minutes. Nice!
Wow, can't believe I'm only seeing these videos now. Never seen or heard a video be so practical and easy to understand. Telling us the hows but also the why's. Excellent video yet again Phil. Stand's the test of time.
Your video was recommended to me by TH-cam and I must say, simply excellent. Very easy to understand and undramatic explanation of the function of lens hoods with examples and real world tips. Thank you! Subscribed.
Nine years later I still found this immensely helpful and concise to the point. Thanks!
Bro, I have learned so many golden nuggets from your videos. Thank you for all the content and helps.
10 years later and still a great video
I love this! Excellently explained! I've always been confused about lens hoods, and now that I've watched this I can definitely say I've seen people using them wrong. lol
Still an extremely relevant video! One of the best presentations out there, clear, concise and informative on a topic that affects all photographers
FINALLY!!! A pro who understands that we Blue collar people DON'T have money to burn on Camera equipment!! I was sooooo impressed with your direct approach to buying what works and NOT what has Nikon or Leica on it. I live on a S/S income, and enjoy my photography. I just bought my first DSLR. I've been a film guy my whole life, but with the increasing difficulty in finding film and processing, I decided to "Bite the Bullet" and I bought a Nikon D3100 a few years ago. I have a small hobby business making 18th. and 19th. century knives and Black Powder shooting accessories. I use photography in my business for my product shots. I'll be viewing more of YOUR videos. Thank you very much.

I just stumbled on this video. Thank you for the clear and concise explanation. Bravo!
Best photography video I ever saw, I will definitely watch his other videos now, straight to the point and full of useful information. I immediately subscribed.
Just getting started with more serious photography instead of my cellphone and was wondering about when and how to use these. This was very helpful. Thank you.
Though this video is a decade old it is still relevant - the how and why of using a lens hood. To the point and great informative video. Thanks a lot Mr. Steele!
People who give a video like this a thumbs down have no place in society.
Flares???!!! but the hippies told me they were spirit orbs LMAO
u made my day!!
🤣 Hilarious!
Lmaoooooo
That one Guy lmaooooo
No one ever said that.
9years and still makes a lot of sense. Thanks to the video sir
I hope there were more people like you doing videos here. Straight to the point and easy to understand.
Thanks so much. Perfectly answered all the questions I had about my new lens hood (the $8 Chinese version)
"You might as well point a Bazooka at them"
That was such a nice way to refer to it.
Probably the only lens hood video out on the Tube. And also the best. Thanks for quick hit on hoods.
9 years later this video still holds up better than most. thanks for the explanation
Really enjoyed your video - informational and helpful. Thank you!
Thats brilliant. Experience from years shared in 9 minutes.
Extremely strange !!! 1K of thumbs down while I take my hat off for this man who gave us such a wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much Sir.
Man you just cleared all my confusion. Best video for lens hood. Also the last hack for carrying lens hood without compromising space👌👌
