Thanks sparky. I'll look at the raw file tomorrow.

CC: thank you! I will look into that also! Im constantly reading to learn more.. Helps when I have my camera taking photos and read ad the same time.
After checking the raw stats my aperture was too low also. Maybe a dog park isn't the best place to practice. Dong are too hyper, can't keep up with setting changes or think fast enough yet.
Jones0610 said:I just wanted to pass along kudos and a big THANK YOU to Terrel for your excellent description about vivid mode. I have been having the same problem as the OP, but in reverse... really blah looking pictures when it's overcast and grey (which happens a LOT here in the Pacific Northwest). I'll give vivid mode a try next time to see if that helps. Much obliged.
@MLeek: I have a D7000 which takes excellent pictures in auto mode. But I'm finding that when using the camera lightmeter, even when I have metering in spot mode, pointed at a grey object, the camera will tend to be quite a bit off on the exposure. So I have to fool with the settings until the LCD and histogram look good and even still there's no guarantee that I got a good picture. I've had this camera for a few months and I'm getting to where I can get the exposure "close" in full manual.. but even still I could be off by 1/3 step or even 2/3 steps. So what would you advise to ensure that the exposure is "as good as it can get"? I'm really reluctant to NOT check/adjust the exposure on every new scene because even if the lighting didn't change, I don;t have a lot of confidence that the settings are as good as they could be.
I have some examples here: Travels with the Original Easyrider® Pictures from my PCC digital photography class
I did PP them a little in Gimp. They were significantly worse right out of the camera (jpeg) in some cases.
