Legendary National Geographic photographer Jim Brandenburg was given unique access to the Nikon D800 ahead of its launch. In this exclusive interview with WDC he shares his first impressions of the new camera


Jim Brandenburg Interview with WDC

One of the world’s
top nature photographers, Jim Brandenburg spent three decades working
for National Geographic. His feature, North Woods Journal, shot in the
wilds around his home in Minnesota, contained the biggest selection of
images in the magazine’s history. His seminal book, Chased by the Light,
spawned an Emmy nominated TV documentary and even an iPad app. He has
produced numerous other books and won many awards and his fine art
prints sell worldwide through his website and galleries.

So it’s
probably not that surprising that when Nikon was looking for someone to
road test their top secret new DSLR, with its revolutionary new 36MP
sensor, they asked Jim. That camera would become the Nikon D800, and in
this interview he talks about his experiences with the new camera.
