The Hand works best as a shade when using a tripod. But on shorter lenses it can work.@Terrywoodenpic Terry that's a cool little post loadsa info thanks for chiming in
Probably the only thing I didn't overlook despite my sensor carnage was the lens being clean it was actually checked in the field that day just in case.only 'cause I've learnt the hard way, sadly
Lens hood is preddy substantial on the 400 DOii. I hear ya mate but there is no way I could had hold that and the" brick" ( my 1DX mark ii) with one hand...that bit kinda made me smile
I know exactly what you mean about the sun.my next outing didn't work out quite as planned with the hares.......nearly but not quite...so I didn't get to make the hoped for set of images building on the lads wisdom bestowed here.......I did get tangled up with some roe though.( as is my lot).................. trying to shoot one of the bucks against the sunset did indeed throw in a lot more problems.
That said for me it's all good I guess back lit will always appeal to me artistically anyways..but more than that.when one really grafts at one subject for many years, backlit right under late sun widens my portfolio of brown hare tis something a smidge different to what I already have and not terribly easy to aquire.
Terry this whole thread is a joy for me.................. bless ya for adding to it

The other way is to put your whole self, camera and all, under the shade of something like a tree or hedge row. Makes you less conspicuous too. Need the instincts of a sniper. Keep down and light off the glass.
