I'm with you, Keith. I'm a hat guy, whether I've got a camera or not. I have a sort of Indy Jones fedora that does a great job of shading light for when I have the MX or Spotties. Baseball caps help a great deal, too (but not as much as the fedora). Unfortunately, my berets and my Nepalese goatherder's hats don't have any brim or peak, so they're useless in that regard.
Once I started wearing hats, I stopped getting colds. I don't know if there's a correlation or not. cheers, frank Keith Whaley wrote: > I don't do a lot of indoor shooting, but I have a couple of "photography > hats" I wear for most of my outdoor forays, that shade the viewfinder well. > One is sort of "pork-pie" hat, with a flat crown and soft 2 3/4" brim > all around.
