A lens hood stops light coming into the lens at extreme angles and being reflected inside the lens. This can lower the contrast of the image. Compact camera designs often include some degree of lens protection in the camera design. For cameras with interchangeable lenses, most lenses come either with integral or accessory lens hoods.

When there are strong light sources - such as the sun, you can get the familiar 'flare' spots on images. Different lenses give different patterns of flare; the shapes of the larger spots depend on the shape of the lens iris, and the colours depend on the glass and coatings in use.

Normally you want to avoid these effects, but occasionally they can add interest - as they more often to in film or video footage. A lens hood enables you to shoot 'contre-jour' or towards the light source, so long as you keep it outside the image area, without excessive flare. This can produce some exciting results.
