Been out of internet for last few days at Capitol Reef amazing place. Camera working well but Auto Colour balance no better than my previous Nikons makes the red rocks too blue, good old subject failure. Using my normal settings and adjusting in Captur NX results are stunning from this camera. Now at Bryce Canyon.

Bryce Canyon today, colour I could hardly believe. This is almost as shot. I have so many good pix today but this is one of better. The D800 overexposed some of the time I think bright colour may have fooled the meter. Luckily I was keeping an eye on histogram and did another pix with -0.7 to fix problem. Wendy was having the same problem with her little V1 Nikon but she too is very pleased with her new camera.

Nice image Graham.
I find in bright sun in Spain I have to shoot at -0.7 EV all the time. In some of the streets with white painted houses then I am down at -1.3 EV.

We are still at Bryce today so I think as default I will use -0.7 once again blue sky and very bright sun at 9000feet.

I have not had time to look round our new web site but hope all going well. I will catch up when back in UK 3 May. I will internet as available try to keep this D800 thread going and hope members find pictures of interest. I have posted more on my web site http://www.gwpmultimedia.com

Yes I am very impressed with the D800 auto focus can not be faulted and I have 4 lenses with me and they all work well but most of pix with the 24-70 f2.8 AF-S super lens! Macro 105 for flowers etc and 14-24 AF-S a bit but the little 300-70mm VR AF-S has been used a lot and produces great results from a medium priced lens and is not too much to carry on a trip like this.

Will try and post some more pix tonight hope weather holds thunder forcast for today but sun now at 10.00am.

Are there any sample D800 NEFs available? I've searched the web and only found some on a Russian server, which I am hesitant to access, and some shots of camera bags taken inside a store. I suspect these don't show its full capabilities. The D800 demands the best in technique and lighting to realize its full potential.

I want to play with the conversion process to see if my old computer is up to the task.

Sincerely,
Dave without D800 in USA
(but maybe with D800 some day)
(and maybe with new computer if needed)

Perhaps Graham might drop an NEF in an eMail when he returns home, although it will be pretty big?
