Monday September 28, 2020, I made the hike up to Frankenstein to photograph the westward Mountaineer crossing the famous trestle in peak autumn color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was also one of my first tests with the new camera photographing a moving train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the features of the Z6 is the ‘heads-up’ display in view finder that allows for me to observe a histogram while I’m making photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After exposure, I imported the Nikon NEF (camera RAW) file into Adobe Lightroom for adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sensor in the camera captures an enormous amount of data. To make the best use of this requires a bit of interpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, I used a digitally applied graduated neutral density filter in the sky to better display highlight detail. I also lightened shadow areas, while making subtle color temperature changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I have made these types of adjustments with my other digital cameras, I was impressed by the level of detail and the subtlety of the colors displayed in the Nikon file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This camera-lens combination allows for exceptional sharp images. I’ve enlarged a small portion of the file without adjustment for comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
