The Nikon D850 in a low light / high ISO challenge by Craig Minielly

Having received one of the first Nikon D850 shortly after it’s release, I was excited to try it out and test its capabilities in the higher ISO ranges that I typically like to work with.

But first, a disclaimer of sorts… I am a Nikon Ambassador. I am biased of course, but that bias is built on decades of experience with a brand that has never let me down, and that I rely on under a variety of challenging conditions in delivering bankable results to my clients, every time and without excuses. Whether hanging over a city at night, or crawling through blasted out caverns 1000’ feet below ground in a rainstorm of wet grime & dust, I’m alway pushing the boundaries of my gear and my personal expectations.
