A Lens Hood* is helpful to keep your lens in shade by avoiding direct light hits to your lens. If lens hood is not enough use your hand or a cap to avoid direct hits. You can cast shadows with your hand or any other object by placing that in front of your lens and above.

*“Lens Hood is a device used on the end of a lens to block the sun or other light source in order to prevent glare and lens flare.” Wikipedia
