It's hard to believe that the Nikon D800 is over a decade old now. It's still an enormously capable camera and 36 megapixels is still rather a lot.
The image above, snapped on a Saturday afternoon in October, is a JPEG straight out of the camera. Like with all my cameras that can shoot RAW, I have the camera record one RAW file and one high quality monochrome JPEG. The reason for the JPEG is because that's the photo that gets shown for review on the monitor on the back of the camera when I chimp, and it keeps my head in that "light and shadow and texture" frame of mind.
Sometimes the JPEG itself is actually a keeper, too, like the one above. It should embiggenate quite nicely. It was shot at ISO 200 and the lens was the 24-120mm f/4 VR zoom.
The actual color photo processed from the RAW is below.
