Amateur photographers who were wishing for a solution to help them take pictures without the glaring and lens flaring effects may look forward to the launch of the Flower HoodCap for DSLR cameras, revealed by YankoDesign. If the lens hood turns out to be the way it is meant to be, it will effortlessly take care of issues of focus and over-exposure.
Most available lens hoods are not easy to carry with the DSLR camera and designers Rhie Hyi Joong and Lee Sang Hwa are trying to make it as portable as possible. The HoodCap is appropriately named as the lens cap takes inspiration from a flower to blooms to serve as a lens hood.
Photographers need not do anything but adjust the light exposure to capture perfect shots while using the HoodCap. This particularly helps in focusing at the subject to capture. When not in use the hood retreats back to appear flat and perform the function of a lens cap.
Sounds interesting, but we have no idea as to when the product will enter mass production to help us all take technically faultless pictures and not miss out on moments worth the click.
