Light bleed - I need stitches STAT! - daytime long exposure

Since you wrote in white on the area affected by the light bleed, it looks like an advertisement of some sort. It looks like the purple/pink/fuchsia was added post process.

​It does kind of look cool.

Just cover the viewfinder with a piece of electrical tape, or a black hanky, or a piece of foam board cut to size, or.....well, you get the idea. IMPROVISE people!

Best solution is to get a pair of scissors and just ask your wife where she keeps the really GOOD bedsheets...

Thanks fish, I just got grounded by the wife. I DO NOT recommend fish's suggestion. Apparently wives don't like this.

Re: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Maybe he was talking about the onion and just forgot the second "walla"? 'Cause them is some good onions (of course the word "onion" is pronounced with a heavy New Orleans accent ~ala Justin Wilson)

As in Un YON!! Right?

I knew light bleed can be an issue on some cameras, but hadn't run into it on my D5100. However, my D7100 bleeds light like you hit an artery. I know the instruction manual identifies this and that you should use the the included shield. My point in this post is not to bash on the camera, or Nikon, but to show others what it looks like so someone isn't trying to troubleshoot it in the field as I did before I remembered that this can happen and figured it out.
