That is very good Eric for such a large blow up this is the major plus of the D850. Lower noise than the D500 in poor light, if you underexpose a bit and need to correct in post.
Yes I was impressed with the potential detail. (The detail of the plane at 30000feet was good ) I think my major error was inadvertently using mid resolution, higher compressed jpeg rather than raw. No idea why I left the camera memory bank like that in the first place??? I am kicking myself I didn't switch to the correctly set B memory bank like I do on the D500. Very annoyed with myself.
I gave all the photos to Mike and he's posted one on Facebook and had many Likes (I do hate this culture!) Apparently one of his 'Followers' (no comment) is a well known local bird photographer who said it was “one of the best he's seen taken to date'. Which was nice for Mike .....but it doesn't say a lot for the standards of some of the so called bird photographers. He would probably explode if he saw some of Jeff's photos.
Anyway I've learnt a valuable lesson and am more than ever convinced to sell one of the cameras to avoid me getting muddled up again. I just need to be 100% settled with the so called limitations of the D850.
