Tipster Of The Day: Lens Hood Not Included
written by scapegoat on September 14th, 2008 , 9 submissions , 2 comments (1 vote)

Apart from the fact that that this one is the most suggested tip in the Fisheye category, it also reminds me of this certain warning that we are always told, is that to not look directly at the sun through your viewfinder…

LENS FLARE by sarahd88

“__Shoot right up where the sun is, with its light behind your subject for really cool lens flare and silhouettes.__“

It’s all urban legend now that you really don’t have to look at it through your viewfinder and hurt your eyes, since the Fisheye can see it all for you. And you couldn’t be bothered with this photographic myths when you’re snapshooting, right? So go ahead, grab your film camera, press that shutter button and annoy me with your latest Lomotips!

    Actually that tip should be "cover the lense with your hand's shadow to avoid lense flare"....
