I've been shooting with the D810 and using LR 6.14/Camera Raw 10.1. Yeah, I know it's a bit outdated and I think it shows in my Raw conversions.
As per my normal metering, I try to preserve the highlights, but certain blacks just look flat and pixelated. Thankfully, the D810 has amazing dynamic range so I can pull these back up, but it also effects the highlighted areas. Knowing this, I'm going to try to under expose a bit more to preserve the highlights, but will get more ugly digital blacks. I was curious though, if it's my Raw converter or bad technique? I tried to download Nikon's Capture NXD Raw, but my OS is so out of date it won't download! So why do I get these pixelating blacks? I should note that I've had this experience with Fuji too, so is it my old OS instead?
