How Does a Lens Hood Improve Photos?

A lens hood effectively blocks stray light from entering the lens, which can cause unwanted glare and flares that degrade image contrast and color saturation. By shading the lens, this hood ensures clearer, sharper images, especially when shooting in bright conditions or towards strong light sources. It also provides a degree of physical protection against accidental bumps and scratches.
