Hmmm... Shouldn't this be in "articles"? Lots of good points there.

Well when you put the word "manifesto" in the title people tend to shy away..

Umm.. just take my word for it.. lol

Some great tips in there - I'll have to take some notes. Haven't done much with landscapes myself yet, but then again I live in Nebraska. We are not exactly world renown for our scenic vistas.. lol

Ok, well need to get a couple of bucks in the bank for bail money first, just in case. Lol

9. Cover your Viewfinder.
I do it out of habit now for any image over 1 second. That way, you don't have to worry about light leakage. Which is ugly.

Jake ! No kidding !? Your D800 leaks light through viewfinder ? On the sensor ?

Well, I just spent 20 minutes and found nothing... Maybe it's a myth and I've lived a lie my whole life? I'll do some tests...

No!! My life isn't a lie! I put it to the extreme test in house and it proved me right. Below are two photos. In both it was a 10", f4, ISO 500 exposure with the lens cap on and lens covered by a shirt. One has the viewfinder shutter open, and one it was closed. In both I pointed a high powered handheld LED flashlight at the viewfinder... The results are clear. Granted, this is extreme, but it's not much more light (if any, it's less) than a 2 or 3 minute sunset exposure. I'll do a field test next shoot to see how drastic the difference is in the field.

Interesting. With all that technology...? Seals not efficient ? I know my film cameras are leaking light, well, the age, but usually covering the VF was to avoid fooling light meter with stray light.

They do have technology for it.. That viewfinder shutter is 101% effective.

Very good, Jake!!

Stone Age solution. Still better, than black electrical tape.
