@skidrowdie You don't need a lens hood with a flash if it's dark you'll need as much light as you can get and stray light might just lighten the picture up a bit :)

Make sure you are not under a tree if you're not supposed to be under it.

If I use an external flash + a hood at a party, will that work? Or should I remove the lens hood, assuming there will be pretty dark?
