You could always do what most of us do. Move the hat a bit aft when
shooting?

They have also invented baseball hats that amazingly enough can be worn with
the bill at the back of your head, keeping it out of the way when taking
pictures. You can see photographers wear these special baseball caps at
most sporting events. The nice thing about them is that they can be then
turned around so the bill is in the front when done taking pictures to keep
the sun out of ones eyes. I believe only high end camera stores carry
these and they are usually 3 times what a *normal* baseball cap costs.
;-)

I have some of those for sale with various logos on them. They are
$45.00 a piece, slightly used. Any takers?



I've got one that says on the front:

Eat Sh*t

and says on the back:

And Die!


My personal favorite:

I Am Sofa King We Todd Did.


LOL!

Aren't Tilley hats about a hundred bucks? (maybe not, that's just an
informal impression)
I think you can buy a campaign hat in a Mil Surplus store for probably
$20 or less.



In fact, here you go. If it blows overboard, you're out $15.95. :-)

Chuck,
Great suggestion, but, I did find the perfect Hat. I was extremely
light weight, had an extra wide brim, so it would protect my face and
stop my neck from getting RED, is ventilated on the top to help it stay
ever cooler, and it doesn't look half bad. The bill folds up very easy
when I am using the camera.

The best part is it was in stock at REI.

Since it was at REI, you know it has to be reasonably priced.

That's my story and I am sticking to it!

For years I have worn Baseball style Caps when boating. I liked the
long brim and the fact that if it actually blew off and I could not turn
the boat around quick enough, it was not too expensive to replace.

I have since found out they don't work well when taking photographs. I
am looking at the Tilley Hats (LT3 or LT6) as a new hat that will work
when I have a camera stuck to my nose. Does anyone have any
recommendations for a light weight, cool (not hot) hat that does not get
in the way when taking photos?


This'll probably sound really stupid, but it's what I do. I turn the cap
around so the bill is facing the rear, take the picture, and then rotate
the cap again.

That's how I do it.
