  • Hi, wana ask, i beginner in photography, i just brought a new nikon d7000. i try to install lens hood. but i not able to remove it.. it seem like stuck. what can i do?

  • @illusion83 Not sure, perhaps it is not threaded properly. It will lock with a click usually. Look closely at the way it's attached to the lens.

  • will i be able to manual focus the lens with the hood on

  • @vnk956 Yes, the opposite is true with the hood in "storage mode". That will block the lens

  • ur lessons r top quality ! great job

  • @HussaMix Thank you very much!

  • I use lens hoods to make my lens look bigger :)

  • my hood sometimes comes into the corners of the image and causes shadows. is there anyway to avoid this?

  • Is there any occasions when you would not want to have the lens hood on?

  • thanks for your great tips, please keep them coming!

    I have learned tremendously from your info.
