No, I'm talking strictly dynamic range. The sky should not be that deep blue, the skin tones should be blown, and the faces in shadows should be much darker. I knew the D800 had a ton of DR, but didn't think it was that much. Maybe the sun was partially behind a cloud or something, or bouncing like hell off the sand.
The histogram is contained nicely in the range of the d800 on this photo. I do pull the luminescence down on the blue channel to give the sky a darker appearance. I think I used -25 on this photo. (too much and the edges of foreground objects starts to look funky) The d800 does have a lot of dynamic range, but I can't see any nikon full frame camera not being able to capture that scene exactly the way my D800 did. On some of my landscape shots, I push the image to the max. I always bracket just in case, but have rarely needed to use 2 images or HDR since upgrading to the D800 from my Canon Full frames.
Here is a photo of the before and after RAW conversion in Lightroom.
