[QUOTE="darlenec59, post: 30837, member: 1179"] I have the D3000 and so far have not been turning on the active d-lighting because it seems to slow things down a bit but I've started thinking that it's not all THAT slow and maybe it's time I start using it. I understand it helps with shadows and highlights and am wondering if it's better to turn it on when I go to photograph my friend's two dogs - one is all black (already a challenge) and one is all white. Active D ON in this situation? Also, is it even possible to get a good exposure with BOTH dogs in the same photo and how do I expose for that? Help! I want to do a good job for her as one of her dogs is getting up there in years and I want her to have a nice memento. I am really hoping to get a nice portrait of her with both dogs. Extra challenge - the only time we are able to do this is in the early to mid-afternoon (fill flash outdoors?) Sorry for such a long post. If anyone can answer even one of the questions I'd be most appreciative. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
