How to Prevent Lens Flare

Keeping this in consideration, what causes lens flare?
Lens flare is caused by a bright light source (such as the sun) shining into the lens (whether in the image or not) that has its light reflected and scattered inside the lens causing a wash out or a flare artifact.
How to Avoid Lens Flare
- Use a lens hood – that's right, there is a reason why those lens hoods exist.
- Use your hand or another object – just putting your hand over the lens to block off sunlight can completely eliminate ghosting and flares.
