Street Photography with Nikon D850 - My Thoughts A Year Later

[@efhurtado]

For whatever the reason, your video came to my timeline, and I was surprised to hear someone else had been using the D7000! I love that camera and still use it. Like you I also jumped to the big leagues, but with a D800, which I also love as my current workhorse. So glad to know that there are still other Nikon shooters in YT. Thanks for your time.

[@insigniatek]

Hoping you will be continuing your D850 journey as I am joining the ‘club’ (well almost) - I’ve just ordered a new D850! Initially I won’t have a lens for it but hey, one step at a time 😂

[@derrickm9808]

Enjoyed hearing that you are happy with your D850 ,I love mine ,it is so comfortable in the hand and great photo quality , I don't think I will ever want to sell it.

[@lovethatshotadventures]

This camera’s a keeper for sure! Best camera I’ve owned. 😊

[@gordwilliam4384]

Loved the outdoor gallery - very cool! Thanks for the review on the D850. Been looking to buy that camera for the past couple of years. Such a great camera!!

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Glad you enjoyed the gallery, Gord! It was a beautiful night to be out with my camera. Keep me updated, I’d love to hear what you decide to do.

Hi. You made a huge jump from a D7000 to a D850. I used to shoot with a D7000. I still have it. I gave it to my son as I was shooting with my D610 but then I upgraded to a D850 so I upgraded him to my D610. I love my D850. It is really helping to me capture so much more than before especially with my wildlife photography. I am enjoying your videos so keep them coming and thank you.

[@lovethatshotadventures]

I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying the videos! Your son is very lucky to have such a generous Dad… sounds like he’s caught the photography bug too!

[@bigalbjr]

@@lovethatshotadventures Yes. He caught the photography bug since he was around 2 just imitating me with anything he can get his hands on that can be a pretend camera. So cute.

[@Design_no]

I took my d850 to Europe and Egypt for 7 months. Just got back in fact. The camera never missed a beat. Not ever. The best thing was the way it was able to handle the low light in the dark tombs in Luxor.

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Wow, what an incredible adventure! I would love to see the photos you captured.

[@Design_no]

@@lovethatshotadventures me too 🤣. That's the problem with long adventures. You inevitably end up with many thousands of images.

[@andrewb1667]

I've had my D850 for about 9 months now and have loved every minute of the upgrade from my D7200. I picked it up in large part from watching your upgrade video and I decided it was time. I went full in getting the body, the 24-70, 200-500, 14-24, 16-35, and a whole host of accessories to go along with that. It was a very good year last year! Keep up the great videos, and I'll keep clicking along side you with my camera!

[@lovethatshotadventures]

@@Design_no haha! I hear ya! 😁

[@lovethatshotadventures]

@@andrewb1667 Wow, that’s awesome to hear! You just made my day. 😊 It sounds like you had quite the gear haul last year. What a blast!

[@joekelly9369]

Thanks for sharing great photos .I love the fact iv never had to edit a photo out of the camera , nef raw in the menu has plenty of options to change /fine tune your images into what i pre visualised as i took the shot .

[@deborahwarren4756]

Hi Misti! Just wanted to let you know I got my sweatshirt and love it! Thanks!

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Ohhh, I’m so happy to hear that, Deb! Thanks for letting me know! 😊

[@bernardfranck1318]

Hello, i remember one of your first video with d850 ... I don't want to spend budget for a z8 and a few z lenses! So i wanted to upgrade my d780 .main reason was resolution. But now i bought one d850 secondhand, and i descover much more reasons. Even live view with ais lenses. It folow head of subject so you can check sharpness easily on eyes! (So i don't have to buy zf) and this weekend, i was surprised by efficiency of 3d af tracking.... I wanted to thank you because your enthusiasm made me open the choice... Best regards ☀️📷☀️

[@lovethatshotadventures]

So glad you’re enjoying the D850! I sure appreciate your comment. 😊

[@AliasJimWirth]

Hey, Misti. I am happy to learn you are well pleased with your camera choice. It can be such a big disappointment when you have high expectations for some gear, having done the research and all, only to find that in use it falls short. I share your reasons for upgrading gear. Your points are practical and sensible. When the artist needs a new tool in order to achieve the vision, that is the time and reason to acquire it. I will visit that alley, if ever I make it to Boise. You came away with nice images from there.

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Very well said, Jim. And yes, this alley is a must-see for sure!

[@denisnicholson2528]

Love freak alley. Such a cool quirky part of Boise. I'd love a D850 one day. I love my D500, but i'd love a FF camera at some point.

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Sounds like you’re from the area? I enjoyed shooting with my D7000 for many years before upgrading! I only felt the need to upgrade when I started showing my work in galleries, needing to print larger.

[@mediaflmcreation]

Hi Misti! I'm Tony from Dallas, Texas :-) ... I ran into you research a D810 that I'm trading my mirrorless for an i watched your D850... now the year review! You're awesome, calming and full of life. I subscribed immediately. Thank you for your videos

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Thanks so much, Tony, I sure appreciate your comment! I had the opportunity to visit Dallas a few years back. You live in a beautiful area!

[@artsilva]

I had NO idea Boise had an Art District, that is really cool... The hot shoe protecter I got for my D850 is one of those black rubber convex one on amazon that has a tiny spirit level in the center, very handy when setting on rocks or something for quick leveling. I also just love my D850, best camera I ever owned and, and that is coming from an OG Nikon shooter since the mid 70s as well as large and medium format (film), every kind of digital format, etc. but I gotta get a hold of one of those quick guides, what a great idea. Love your channel btw, keep up the wonderful work.

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Ohhh, one with a level would be handy! And yes, there’s a lot to love about Boise, full of surprises. In fact, it’s becoming a bit of a foodie town as well. I’m finding that many people with a vast knowledge of various cameras are big fans of the D850, for good reason! 👍🏻

[@artsilva]

@@lovethatshotadventures A Culinary town too?! Good to know, Thanks.... Yes Nikon knocked it out of the park with this camera. Considered the Best overall DSLR ever made.

[@lovethatshotadventures]

@@artsilva Culinary town on a small scale of course! But it’s fun seeing new and interesting restaurants pop up recently. I hear there’s even a new speakeasy style bar that’s like stepping 100 years back in time. Super cool! That’s what I’ve been hearing about the D850… the best DSLR out there! It’s very reassuring that I picked a good one.

[@davidsuro8974]

Hi! I love the way you project your passion for photography. How do you handle the weight and size of your equipment? What strap do you use? Thans for your answers my best wishes for you.

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Thanks so much! This is definitely some pretty weighty gear! I try to be very selective in what gear I bring with me to manage the weight. If I'm doing street photography, it'll be just the camera with one lens attached (I leave everything else at home). I use a BlackRapid camera strap like this one (my exact model has been discontinued): amzn.to/3Z3XrAu This is my favorite strap, the sling style allows the camera to hang at my side, taking the weight off my neck. It's definitely my go-to. If I'm wanting more lenses on a longer shoot, say a hike or a landscape shoot, I try to keep it to 3 max in my camera bag. This routine has worked out for me so far! Here's a link to my gear page if you're interested in finding out more: lovethatshot.com/photography-gear/

[@Maddog3806]

Hi, love your videos, but my big question is, do you like the D-850 over the Z-7II mirror less? I’m about to upgrade and would love your input. Thank you!

[@lovethatshotadventures]

I haven’t had a chance to go the mirrorless route yet. I just upgraded my lenses a year prior to getting the D850, so I wanted to stay with dslr because it fit my budget. I have nothing against mirrorless, I just found it wasn’t for me just yet.

[@herby19661]

Love my D850

[@j.m.gratton6000]

What a beautiful city core, very different from the litter infested city cores in Canada. I've been documenting the decline of our cities in Ontario and this is a nice breath of fresh air. Are most cities in Idaho this well maintained?

[@lovethatshotadventures]

To be honest, we do have areas that are a little on the seedy side, but all-in-all I think Idahoans do a good job of keeping our cities well maintained.

[@joantanner8426]

What lens are you using in the video is it the 24-70 Nikon lens? You have it mounted in most of your videos?

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Yes, it’s the Nikon 24-70 lens. I love this one for photo walks like this. It has a great range to work with!

[@jonmiller9408]

I enjoyed your street photography work and what you had to say about this beautiful beast of a camera. I've had mine since 2018 and love it, I also bought the Nikon Z7 at the same time and both are wonderful. They have very similar features which makes for a great backup. I was teaching a class when the clouds decided to piss on us and the D850 which was on the tripod got quite wet and I can tell you (wetter than a waterfall spray) it handled the rain perfectly with the Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8e. I've got friends who has sold theirs to go with the Z9 and regret getting rid of it (not because of issues with Z9) they just felt they should have kept both. In my opinion it is one of Nikon's best DSLR and will be for some time.

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Thanks so much, I sure appreciate your comment! I have been extremely happy with the D850 and will most definitely hang on to it for a long time. 😊

[@locker1964]

The D850 is a great camera, but for me it would be too heavy and too dominant for street use. I like to be more discrete in the city.

[@thedrunkweddingphotographer]

10:47 I would not mind living in that gorgeous brick apartment. Top right.

[@nickreid5939]

Is there a big difference in image quality btw the Nikon d850 and the D810?🤔

[@lovethatshotadventures]

I can't really say as I don't have experience with the D810, but I've seen mixed reviews.

[@derekjordan8420]

I shot with a Nikon D810 for over 8 years and loved it. I purchased a Nikon D850 in 2022 and have no regrets. It’s an outstanding camera! I can honestly say that there is a slight difference in image quality and sharpness probably due to the megapixels. But there is a lot to be said about what determines image sharpness. I can honestly say that I believe the white balance on the D850 is way better. Happy shooting! 📷

[@Juventinos]

only camera that beats it in pure raw photo quality is the GFX.

[@sigsegv111]

honestly, I don't think that D850 is in general a good camera for street photography ... it's not a coincidence that best street photographers use kind of smaller and more discreet cameras than a huge threatening dslr with big lenses ... I am saying that as an owner of D850 (and previous owner of D810 and before that D800) .. for this purpose I was trying a lot of other cameras for my street photography of which I shall give a honourable mention to Fuji's x-t20 and x100f, both are fantastic cameras for street photography ... I use currently for my street photography an old Nikon Df with primes (20, 24, 28, 35, 50mm .. all old nikon af-d, af-i or af primes which can be bought second hand for a bargain)

[@jfphotography69]

All major cities have turned to trash. This country is going down the crapper in warp speed.

[@roybixby6135]

The D850 is fantastic value - I still have one. The G lenses are incredably cheap now. Crappy Video asside - It can do nearly eveything my Z9 or Z8 can do ...🦘

[@lovethatshotadventures]

That’s the cool thing with advancements in technology… the prices start coming down for things we’ve been eyeing for a while! 😁

[@MarkRakenzes]

Hi guys at Love that shot, hope all is great with both of you... Looking forward to your next video. Mark R.

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Thanks so much for your comment, Mark! I’ve had a job opportunity pop up that’s taken us away from video making recently, but I’m out taking photos whenever I can.

[@MarkRakenzes]

That sounds awesome, I look forward to your new video, and you guys have an awesome holiday weekend.
