hehe thank you fuzzy! i tried doing a couple shots of the same scene and then putting them into cs2, but i realized i don't know what to do after that. i figured a dslr would give me a LITTLE more control as far as this dynamic range thing goes because i've seen lots of pictures taken by 20d people who just take sort of snapshot pictures, but i noticed even without proper composition and settings their background skies are still blue or at least not white.

the thing that has been saving me from white skies recently is... say i have a pretty fall-coloured tree with a blue background. if i focus on the tree and have it framed how i want it, chances are the sky will be white, and if i focus on the sky, it's blue but the tree is really dark. so i just focus near the top of the tree, hold the button in halfway, and bring the camera down to take the pic. i don't know if that is the most professional thing to do but it has been workin for me!

thanks again
