test for myself

[Scott Murray]

Well I have decided that this time off I am going to test myself.

I am going to cover the rear LCD on my D800E and see if I can take 36 good photos with out viewing them afterwards. I think this will be a good test and will make me think more about composition and lighting that what I normally do. Should be an interesting exercise.

You don't need to cover it. You can turn off the preview function through the menus.

Yeah I know, but covering it would be better as it would remind me why I am doing it.

Yes a good idea.Seen else where other folks are doing same thing.
To better think about Lighting and composition.

You'll get reminded as soon as you look at a blank screen.

I already have it set not to come up, I still press the preview button lol

This would be easy for me. I have to remind myself to look. Dunno how many times I've gone off and shot away and forgotten to check that my shots were even exposed
So not looking = easy
Getting 36 good shots = maybe not
