Here's a shot of our dog Katie at play. Not that this is the greatest picture, but it was easy to capture in dusky conditions with the D30. I put it into "sports" mode, which automatically puts it in continuous shooting mode (at 9 frames per second), with "AI Servo" focus and shutter speed priority. I really should have bumped the ISO (this was shot at 400), but I just didn't think of it (I was having too much fun yelling "Yeah, baby! And I'm spent...").

I've been experimenting with raw capture, which gives you more options when adjusting photos in software such as Apple's Aperture. As luck would have it, I shot some outdoor pictures recently (not worth publishing) with the camera set on tungsten white balance. Whoops! With a little practice, I was able to rescue them by setting the white balance in Aperture.
