We featured some crazy starbucks hacks before and we featured some lens-hood hacks before, but we never featured any lens-hood coffee hack before.

Well, there is a first for everything. Flickr user Nick Cool just submitted this interesting lens hood hack made from a disposable coffee holder.

Weatherized Nikon in Peru

here is how Nick describes it:

Sometimes a lens hood is needed, but unless they are integrated to the lens, they are big and not easy to transport.

I used a hot cup sleeve as lens hood, not a brilliant idea but good enough to save the day.#
