blocking the sun with hand

Is there a tag for this? Y'know, when you hold up your hand kinda like a salute as a sort of impromptu baseball cap, so you can see better in the sun. post #464500 has it but I'm sure there's plenty more... Might already be a tag for it but I sure can't figure it out, nor even what that's called in general.

I can't really think of any tag or name for it. If there isn't a tag for it already, perhaps something like hand_visor?

How about shading_eyes?

I have no idea if it's good or not, but that's what came to mind for me first too.

shielding_eyes is another one.

I like shading_eyes cause it can be done with 1 hand or 2, and like, right up on the head or a bit off. I'm gonna put that on a couple images, if we decide on something better we can always do a mass-tag edit.

The only complaint I can think of is that it's not really clear that it's done with your hand, but then again, maybe it doesn't have to be done with your hands, could be done with a magazine held over your head or something. That would be captured in the tag as well, I guess.

+1 for shading_eyes. Simple, intuitive, and adequately descriptive.

I went ahead and made a description for it as well. The only niggling doubt I have is whether people will confuse it somehow with shading as in the art term, but it seems obvious enough.
