Hi there,


I am back from holiday, I took my canon EOS 550D and EF-S 17-85 IS USM lens. I was in Tunis on holiday. Because the sun always shine there, I had all the time the hood on the lens. But when I took picture with the hood on with flash, I get strange shadows on my pictures. In my understanding the shadows are created by the hood on the lens


How can I avoid those shadows when I take pictures with flash, with the hood on the lens. My brother in law told me that the lens could be guilty. Can you guys help me with this? Tomorrow I will put heresome pictures.
