I picked up this screen hood while I was in Florida recently. I was on the beach yesterday and couldn't see anything on the P5100 screen, despite it's excellent brightness. Put the hood on with elastic bands and I was able to get the series of Reef Egret images that I posted in my Gallery yesterday. Neil.

Hi Neil
I have been using this homemade one for over a year now :t:
Just go ever so carefull the sun doesn't shine onto the hood lens, as it is a magnifying lens, remember when you were younger, setting fire to things with a magnifying lens.
Well it will destroy the pixels in the lcd screen of the camera. I am sure you know this, but have mentioned it just in case.
The picture below shows my homemade hood. When not looking through it, you can hinge it forward to stop the sun shining into it. :-O Couldn't digiscope without it, so much easier than trying to see an image on the lcd screen, in the daylight
Thanks for your continued input on the forum and superb pictures.
