Personally I always use lens hoods... looking at the photo I'd say he's using a 70-200 f4.

I always use a hood...unless with front filters then I use my hand or cap...
Oh, and I'd agree with Peter on the lens.

Not only is the lens hood good for flare etc., it also helps protect the lens from damage. A couple of years ago I managed to let my Nikon slip from my grip and the lens hood took all the impact between my camera and the tarmac.
Cost me a new lens hood instead of a new lens.

Depends on the lens in use. I use a 70-300 DO a lot and this lens is apparantly prone to flare/loss of contrast so always have the hood in place. It stores reversed on the lens so is no problem to carry around. I do not bother with my other lenses, shielding the lens if necessary with my hand.The one other exception is my new 'toy,' the 400 DO which has not got a thread to take a filter to protect the front element so I always put the hood on to protect that large hunk of very expensive glass.

Always use a lens hood unless using flash - and that occurs very rarely as I have not yet got into flash photography.
