My Nikon Z6 Mirrorless camera is an amazing tool for capturing images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a tremendous ability to capture detail across a broad dynamic range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its RAW (NEF) files allow for a high degree of exposure latitude and post processing adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s unadjusted files are the closest to ‘true’ color of any camera that I have owned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet, it is almost too much detail. But without the supersaturated punch that I’ve come to accept from my other digital cameras, notably my Fuji X-series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, Kris Sabbatino and I photographed New England Central’s 611 arriving at Brattleboro, Vermont under a clear polarized blue dome. A near perfect morning, and yet contrasty with crusty snow on the ground and deep dark shadows cast along the sides of the locomotives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed for the snow to retain highlight detail with an expectation of making post processing adjustments to the NEF files with Adobe Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal was to eye-up (estimate) the adjustment of my RAW files in order to emulate the richly saturated color profile automatically provided by my Fujifilm XT1 JPGs. This was an unscientific approximation without benefit from a detail study of the Nikon’s histogram in comparison with the Fuji’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll plan on making a more critical project by working with these types of comparisons at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
