Nikon D850 Dynamic Range: Lower Morgan Lake Backlit Tree
See my Nikon wish list and get Nikon D850 at B&H Photo.
It is my view that dynamic range is best assessed using real field shots.
This series evaluates noise shooting an extremely high contrast outdoor scene using exposures from 1/500 to 1/2500. It explores how well highlights are preserved as well as how much noise accrues in the shadows with a push and a shadow boost. Also includes advice on how to expose for such scenes.
