New hoods for my lens!!!!

I just ordered 2 new hoods for my lens last night and they have already been shipped. I am excited and cant wait for them to show up. I cant wait to see the difference they make when taking pictures. I have never used a hood before. I ordered the tube hood and the tulip hood.

I am by no means a professional photographer. I just like to take pictures and play around with the settings on my camera. I have a Canon T3, with a couple different lens etc..I really enjoy taking pictures of people and not just things. I have created this blog to be able to keep up with my journey. Thank you so much.
