lightroom 3 beta to the rescue. cropped my black dog. maybe a local correction plug-in (like Nik's Viveza?). ack. more things to spend money on. maybe it costs less to just pay better attention when taking the picture...
No more fiddling after this round, where I discovered the adjustment brush in lightroom. Awesome. Great how-to video from NAPP: tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-lightroom-20/basics-09-local-cor...
first time using lightroom 3 beta. played with exposure, brightness, noise reduction, sharpening. this could get expensive.
lightroom adventures continued... another crop, bit more exposure to pull out the eyes of my little black dog (who's not really that little!)
I'm pretty impressed with the rescuing powers of RAW and Lightroom.

Out for a walk and came upon these 2 great danes. It is *very* impressive to see so much dog jumping around playing. (My dog was impressed too, she's the spectator.)
My spontaneous reaction was to switch to shutter priority and get it down enough to catch the action... unfortunately I'd forgotten about the sloooow kit lens, which is only on while I wait for a new 50mm 1.8. Dark and noisy. I miss my 1.8!!
Desaturated some to take away a little red noise. Wish I knew how to really "fix" a dark, noisy shot like this...
