Bravo ... Encore !!!!
😂 I suspect you will not be disappointed!
Good morning "nosocks",
Regardless of the cause of your now solved problem the absolutely simple explanation is that you are only, and wonderfully, HUMAN - just like the rest of us. Just remember the next time you do something you consider "stupid" there are likely hundreds, if not, thousands of other HUMANS doing or having done the same thing. Keep on being HUMAN !
All the best to you and yours and stay safe during these "interesting" times,
Terry

I admit it. I’ve been away from my camera, a Nikon D610, for a couple of years except for occasional beachscapes and some family snapshots. Today I wanted to takes shots of my14 year-old granddaughter’s work to send to a friend who is an established, educated, independent artist. These are pencil sketches and the grandfather (me) thinks they’re quite good. My friend has agreed to cast a critical eye on a halfdozen or so. Problem; I set the. Camera where I thought it should be, based on experience. I picked up the camera to take a test shot and I can’t see a thing thru the viewfinder. Total blackness. This is likely something simple, but I’m out of ideas. Can someone help? (The lens cover had been removed.)

Oh! I solved the problem.
But I think I'll keep trying.

The most entertaining part of some posts are the candidate solutions and answers posted to the thread that demonstrate nothing else was read except for the question. 🤔🙃
Does this happen in the daytime when there's plenty of light? Or does it happened at night when there is not much light? There is a setting on your camera to show you what the photograph will turn out has using the available light. Of there isn't much light and you were planning on using a flash, it will be very dark.

Was a lens cap involved in the solution?
That was my thinking as well.

Because once you've solved the problem, you don't need to try anything else, so the first thing you try could be the last if that solves the problem. Have a great week. Hope you are staying cool. jak
Take off the lens cap!!!!

Lens cap? I've done it - but realize quickly the problem.
