Mama Bird

"Where the birds make their nests: ...O LORD, how

manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all:"

(Psalm 104: 17 & 24)

This photo was taken outside of our house this afternoon. Mama bird is protecting her newly hatched baby. She built her nest on top of one of our outdoor lights. I tried to get a picture of the baby, but was unsuccessful.

So, what new technique did I use here? Not really a technique, but it was taken in the RAW format. My first uploaded Camera RAW photo! I can totally see a difference in quality. It's a lot more sharp than JPEG and you have more flexibility in adjusting the various elements. It's great and I'll be trying to take more photos in this format.
