Awesome action shots :D Gorgeous as always.

Reggin you could also try underexposing a stop or two. I underexpose a lot of my photos. Especially if I am shooting something white on a sunny day.

Ok, now I need to figure out how you do that. Gosh, its kind of embarrassing not knowing much about my camera and I've had it for months. :eek:

you know what the aperture and shutter speed is? either use a faster shutter speed (higher number) or a slower aperture (higher number). So if your light reading came as f8 and 1/80 seconds you could try using f10 or 1/100 seconds. Or both! See how that works.

I always try to err on the side of under exposing. That way in pp you can brighten it up a bit. Over exposed is more of an issue because you have actually 'lost' the detail in the blown out highlights and you can't fix that in pp.

Thanks, Saje!

Reggin, that also reminds me...
Use your Active D-lighting when shooting in the sun.
It'll allow you to keep at least some of the detail in blown highlighted areas...I believe.

Yes, I do know what that is, I just have to figure out how to change it. I'm thinking its the little dial? I've messed with that before, but didnt really know what I was doing at the time. lol. Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it. :)

Thanks!
I used the 50mm f1.8 for these.
But, when lighting permits, I really like my 55-200mm lens.

And, Red, I enjoy your shots as well.:D

I love taking photos of dogs, and have thought of it as a livlihood if I could just ever afford a decent camera. :D

Maybe one of these days.

oh! I don't know! I guess I just assumed that it did since I didn't think the D40 and D60 differed with that option.
If she has it, it'll be in her menu.

well, you have a D40, right?
Does yours have it?

Holy cow!!!!!

Those are amazing, gorgeous pictures. It helps that Ella is insanely ripped, and just the cutest. ; ) I see you have mastered that camera!

Oh... I got the leads, btw. I love them! = D I will get pictures and such soon. And I'll be ordering one more, in a bit.
