Whisp of RAW Power

The highlights in this photo were so badly blown that I almost

deleted it. There was no color showing in the camera preview at all.

One year later I noticed the faint whisp in the blown out sky while I

was browsing the directory. Since I shot the original in RAW I was

able to recover this amazing sky. If I hadn't dodged the tree trunks

and touched up a few branches this would have qualified

for "unmanipulated." It's an incredible era to be an amature

photographer!
