Playing with a D800 file.

In my quest to keep learning, I follow guys like Jared Polin, who has this Fro Knows Photo site, and does lots of photo video tutorials. One of the things he does is Fro's edit of the week, where you download a file, edit it, and upload it. This week, there was a D800 file, which I was interested to see and play with, so I gave it a go.


The file is huge - abt 32MB, or about 3 times bigger than the normal D90 files.

The Original RAW looks like this.

Here's a Cropped Version: Check out how much detail there is.

Add a little Lightroom: The image below is what I uploaded, using a preset I just found online.

Here's a Further Crop: Seeing how much crop this image can take, I cropped it more. The detail/clarity is insane!

Add a touch of Lightroom: I can see myself getting used to such big files. And the dynamic range should be quite nice too.

I'm going to see how the D600 turns out (should be out later this year), but I can see myself liking the D800 very much!

Keep Shooting!
