I have been considering getting hoods for my lenses but wasn't sure of the pupose. I currently use UV filters as protection (some of the stuff I shoot is in a dusty environment so they limit getting dust on the front element and the need to clean too often).
Does anyone have an example of hood vs non-hood shots? I am intrigued by the concept of better contrast.
