Take better pictures with a lens hood! It extends beyond the edge of your lens, shading it and reducing interference from light coming at odd angles. A lens hood can also serve as some protection for your valuable lens, since it extends beyond the surface of the lens, shielding it from debris, moisture, bumps, and even fingerprints!
