I don't have a Tilley, but I have a couple of wide-brimmed hats that I usually carry when I'm focusing with a folding hood instead of a darkcloth. I can usually position the hat to get some extra shade on the groundglass when I need it.

Here is a negative scan of the Yosemite Falls image. No fancy PS stuff...just tried to get the brightness and contrast looking right. Looks a little low contrast on my screen.
Film...8x10 Fuji Acros at 100 ASA
Taken on 4-12-07
f64 at ~2 seconds (one one thousand, two one thousand)
Turner Reich - 28" w/ light orange filter (front element only, behind shutter)
Ilford Universal PQ developer, 1:19, 68F 6 min
Jobo 3005 Drum on Beseler Motor base
Pretty typical Yosemite falls photo.

Depends, last week a couple of drunks in an alley..about $.35 (only change I had) made them go away. Others, if they are truly interested and I can take a mental break, I will dicuss my ULF camera, photography, etc. If they are photographers, or in one case their son was, I will chat awhile longer. On the whole, I am usually very focused, and as a result not real chatty...
I wonder if Brian V. Remembers last year during our trip in Yosemite? It was me Roger and Brian shooting Half Dome... We had so many people around us we could barely move, we got a million questions... Had some great conversations and met some cool people... I personally love to talk about LF Photography.... with non-photographers and we also had a bunch of digital guys around us too... Even the digital photographers were amazed at our cameras... That is the same year my 8x10 almost went up in flames in Cook's Meadow while photographing an Elm tree... the sun was beating down on my 450 so it became a big ol magnifying glass... my face was priceless!!! if my 8x10 would of went up in flames...
All in all people were polite and curious to an extent.... I love the stories some of you have posted it made me laugh... Thanks for sharing...
I had taken out the 11x14 a few months ago and I got a bunch of people wanting to look at the ground glass some were from Rochester and knew that it was old... I did have a few people take out there digital cams and say this better... I said ok whatever you say with a smirk on my face... :-)
Obviously, you should carry one of these with you:
