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 one won't blow off and will serve you well if you want to take a
swim.

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

Butch,

If I turn the cap high enough to get it out of the way, it falls off. I
have had to turn my baseball cap backwards to get it out of the way,
which looks too urban from me and does not protect me from the sun.

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

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?
