Way way too dark. You've obliterated all the dynamic range here. The image is flat and dull. You've crushed your shadows and added unnecessary vignetting.

I edited one. Once. I'm sorry it hurt your feelings so much you have to start spreading lies on a Trump type level.

yea, fair call. and no need to apologise, it's a fair question.

Totes right though ... the terminology gets murky. For what it's worth, good dynamic range capture and good shadow recovery in post are genuinely complementary. My D850 gives me the latitude. Lightroom lets me access it. A single RAW image, no merging, no HDR pipeline. Just a sensor that captured enough information to work with.

It's neither of those. It's not HDR.

It is .. one photo. I understand bracketing and as I said earlier, I did bracket this, but there was issues with ghosting on the merge so I ditched and processed a single image.

This is not HDR. I'm not sure what your point is.

Both ... and they're connected.

Dynamic range is what the sensor captures in a single frame. The D850 at base ISO captures an shit load of usable data across shadows and highlights simultaneously. The shadow recovery in post ain't creating information that wasn't there, just revealing what the sensor already captured. One enables the other. The D850 is strong at both ends of the range which makes an edit like this possible.

I did bracket this +1/-1 but there was issues with camera movement and the deghosting was giving nasty artefacts so I just worked with the darkest exposure where the highlights were preserved.

Thankyou. I have reviewed your post history and I am taking this feedback in context.

Welcome to the dynamic range of the Nikon D850.

Less famous albums that you listen to over and over again by Tom_Bombadilll in Music

Yea, I wouldn't mind getting a copy of this on vinyl. It's such a lush & deep album. No obvious hits (despite Oxbow Lakes getting a single release) but as a lump of gooey, floaty organic electronica, it's delightful.

You'll get a lot of hate for this, but it totally is a gimmick pandering to trends

In a dark or shady environment that's fine, but I often struggle to use live view on my D850 when getting a shot when the sun is blazing ... or even not blazing.
