After all, the D750 can also make pictures!

Very nice results.

I did similar pics with my D810, also light metered and with D-lighting on and also D-lighning of. It works very well with both options. The neutral and flat picture styles are my new favorite settings so i have much more control after the shoot where i need more or less contrast ! The shadow recovering works very well in Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw and of course in Nikon NX-D too. My impression was to get more shadow recovering in Lightroom than in NX-D but if you don´t need that amount of shadow recovering the overall IQ is a little bit better in NX-D especially the colors !

I´m not shure about the noise level after a heavy shadow recovering, so i might be wrong, but i think the D750 has less noise than the D810

Hi Manfred and Guenter!

Thanks for the pictures and comments.

Regarding RAW conversion....

I had been using NX2 as my primary RAW convertor for years, But after having concerns with NX2 being "orphaned", and reading several reviews, I've been increasingly been using Photo Ninja to open RAW files and do my initial adjustments.

PhotoNinja Review

I have now set Photo Ninja as my default RAW processor to Photoshop, so that when I open a RAW image in Photoshop, if the image is RAW ("NEF" in my case), the image is sent immediately to PhotoNinja where I do some basic adjustments and then simply click on "PS Done" to send it back to Photoshop.

I had tried a number of RAW convertors over the years, but for most (not all) my uses, I had been happiest with NX2. I especailly liked the ability to use U-points. But I think that I am finding, as did the above reviewer, that Photo Ninja is now getting the bulk of my RAW Conversion work (BTW, my main DSKR is currently a D4).

These images by themselves don't prove anything, but FWIW, they were shot RAW and opened and adjusted in PhotoNinja, brought back into Photoshop for final processing:

Nikon D4 ,Carl Zeiss ZF2 / ZE / Zx Apo Sonnar T* f2 135mm 1/2000s f/2.0 at 135.0mm iso1600

Nikon D4 ,Nikkor 200mm f/2G IF-ED AF-S VR 1/2500s f/13.0 at 200.0mm iso200

Best Regards,

RB

Amazing what the d750 can do when you don't spend all of your time trying to replicate some fairy-obscure flare issue.

Hi Manfred!

I'll be very interested in your take on Photo Ninja as a RAW convertor. You do such outstanding work, and in particular, I wonder what you'll think of it for your people shots including studio work (skin tones in particular).

I'm pretty much a studio lighting neophyte. Lately I've been playing around with Portrait Professional for portraits, and trying hard to not overdo it to the point where the subjects look unnatural.

Keep up your terrific work!!

Best Regards,

RB
