Photography Question 

Marta Azevedo
 

wide angle


Everytime I shoot with wide angle and hood I get black corners in my photos. What do I do to avoid it?

Thanks

  The hood is the wrong size for your lens and blocking light from the corners. If it is one that screws onto the filter threads it could also be the additional depth of the threads, rather than the hood itself, that is causing the problem. You need to get a right-sized hood, preferably the lens manufacturer's recommended model for the lens - likely a bayonet mount that doesn't add additional filter thread depth.
