I have a lot of images from yesterdays wedding shoot. I used three cameras, Nikon D3x, Nikon D810 and Hasselblad H4D-50. I have to say that the little Nikon D810 starts to grow on me.

Nice work! What are the exposure details?I honestly hesitated to even post this image as it's really not that good…i.e.: bad cloudy weather, no magical light, rain and drizzle, cloudy water, etc…and really should be done with a wide angle lens. However I just got my D810 and I have the Zeiss Otus 55 and was anxious to work with this lens on the 810. Only really been taking test shots for couple of days also….But what I'm seeing is AMAZINGLY smooth files (iso 64)…and I'm able to pull up unbelievable shadow detail…I mean smooth with no noise…Wonderful dynamic range. I'm looking for ways to get medium format feel with 35mm system…thus the reason for getting the Otus lens. I'll be posting some better shots as I get more chance to experiment with this combination. Oh yes, the live view focusing is over the top fabulous. Eleanor

The depth of field doesn't look like too much of an issue to my eyes, but it's not easy to tell on screen.Exposure was Otus 55 at f11, 6 seconds, iso 64. I was surprised I didn't get any more depth of field at f11…that's why I feel this would have been better with say a 35mm lens. I shoot this river often and usually get best results with wider lens…just wanted to try my Otus here. I did some test of f stops using the Otus and was shocked at the superb sharpness and micro detail even using f 16!! I would never use f16 on any other lens. eleanor
Also as I mentioned the ability to pull out excellent smooth detail from way underexposed shadows at iso 64 is amazing. I have been a Phase One medium format user for many years and looking for something in 35mm that will give me that "feel". Also I''m going nuts not having Capture One to process these Nikon D810 files!!!

There are a couple of very similar rivers near me here in North Wales, in the Aberglaslyn Pass area, and since buying the Sigma Art 35mm and 50mm lenses I've been thinking of trying the same type of long exposure photography. Must dig out my tripod!
Yes, there are some really nice rocky rivers in Colorado - I particularly remember the Animas, seen from the Silverton train when I visited about 15 years ago.John I do long exposures of water frequently, at least here in Colorado…For this shot I used a 6 stop ND filter. eleanor
