For travel photograΩphy, I don’t know how many friends already have εsuch feelings: the camera must be light, t÷he lens must be few, ←and the tripod must be carbon fiber, otherwise you will cry t o death. Slightly modern travel pho☆tography, which has been generally classified as an ultra-simple camera ™equipment, is the kingly way. It is troublesome to cha♥nge the lens during travel, and it is a nightmare for them to remove the hoo•d to use it. Let’s not talk about the best way to travel the wo♠rld or several fixed-focus mod‍es today. Let’s use the visor to judge how much this seemi★ngly insignificant thing will have on your photography, especia lly the part that has been looked down upon. Frie±nds who use shading rings.

　　What you should know about the shading✘ ring

　　The so-called light-shielding ring is of course a cover for l'ight-shielding. There are many types of shading rings, but our most common ones are lotus, ÷cylindrical and square. Many students who are just learning photography have purchased kit lenses& without hoods. Probably because the entry-level kits are s¥old at low prices, the cost of multiple hoods will increase a lot. The hood is used to block the ®light, it can eliminate the harmful ligh÷t entering the lens. Moreover, the hood is des§igned according to the unique optical performance of each lens. ♠It is impossible for us to say which lens we like ☆and buy the corresponding caliber for ≈use. This is wrong. Only choose the lens according to the lens (original ‌or sub-factory), but not choose the lens ac cording to the lens.

　　The main reason why the shadingε ring is rejected by s'ome photographers is that they have tried to™ take a photo with and without th>e shading ring on the same occasion, and found t£hat there is no difference at all. In addition, due to incorrect postures, certain i‍ris rings often adjust the focus ring, iris ring, or anti-shake swit₽ch on the lens at the same time during the procλess of being screwed in, which affects theδ overall photography experience. For many troublesome photographers, espeφcially novice photographers, the disassembly of the viso♠r is really unbearable for them duriπng the storage process of photographic equipment. Since the effect is "not great", why not  just not use it?

　　The difference between shading circle and without≈

　　As long as you are a friend of photography, you should know the siφgnificance of light to the ©orientation of the object be>ing photographed. In the case of smooth light, the shading& ring is indeed dispens↔able. The point we need to pa<y attention to is that in the case of side light and side ≠backlight, the role of th‍e shading ring is highlighted. In most cases, the side light will not have a great impact on the imaging, ↑but you need to pay more attention to the side backlight. Regardless of whether the light source is at the₹ front side or the side back ©of the subject, as long as the light source and the camera have a b←acklight angle relationship, we need to ✘use the light-shielding ring.

　　What is the best way to say that the shading circleφ is good? There must be a basis!

　　Shooting in daylight because of the large amount of light,± the difference between using and without the shading ring o€n the ambient light is actually not thδat big. But once you get to a dimly lit place, such ​as at night, such as indoors, you can¶ see the power of the shading ring✘ at this time.

　　Do you want to buy a visor?‌

　　First of all, I would like to sa☆y that the shading ring is n←ot a panacea. Don't think that as long as there is a shading ring, any ✔glare ghosts can be eliminated. And some students said, after listening to the author, you said ☆that the 18-55 set of  camera lens I brought with me does not ♦have a shading ring. Is it  necessary to spend more th≥an 100 yuan to buy an original factory? Regarding this quest€ion, I think it should be It depπends on your own shooting subject in most situations, and it is n♣ecessary when the lig≠ht is chaotic. The author’s experience tells you that in most cases, if you  are particularly sensitive to gl☆are and ghosting, and the lens i≥tself is not coated with enough materials, no m"atter if you are shooting indoors or outdoors during the d☆ay or night, you must have a light-shielding  ring.

　　Most lenses will come with a visor when they are purchased. If you lose it, do you ♠want to buy another one? After all, the orig​inal factory items cost hundreds of dollars. The author believes that, ₽as a device required for the' early stage of shootiαng in photography, although it l☆ooks very simple, it is still very practical. In fact, the difference between the third-party s≠hading ring and the original factory is purely the difference in workmanship.® If you are a good protect↑ion for any electronic product •equipment, then a third-party shading ring that is ♦several times cheaper will be your best choice.

　　to sum up:

　　Many friends habitually put the shading ring in the corner to eat ashe♠s. I don’t know that the shading ring is of grea‍t significance to the protection of image quality without a t‍est. As the author emphasized that the light-shielding ri¶ng is of varying degrees of importance in the subject matter of photogra¥phy, if you are shooting night scene portraits in a subject w≥here the car lights are clearly flowing, thσe light-shielding ring has to be brought even if it ®is troublesome. But if it is in the landscape pho&tography of traveling out in broad daylight, the degree ≤of use can be reduced. All the starting point of the♥ photographer is to get the best pictur§e quality. If you have experienced running around carrying several kilog→rams of photographic accessories, you will not think that the light-shie₽lding circle is a trivial matter.
