BEFORE & AFTER EDITING RAW FILES
I am insisting on learning how to shoot in Raw format and edit in Lightroom. I do not know why I am doing this to myself. All the software I currently own is for JPEG format which means I actually have to BUY Lightroom when the trial expires and Raw format takes up lots more space on my hard drive. Here is an example of an edit I practiced on today.

Raising Chickens For Eggs and Meat
For a few month we have been getting fresh farm brown eggs from our friends Shannon and Bert. At first I couldnt tell the difference in taste but now I definitely can and I dont think I can ever go back to eating store bought commercial eggs. I also recently read and article in Grit magazine that had this information:
Pasture eggs have 10 percent less fat, 34 percent less cholesterol, 40 percent more vitamin A and four times as much omega-3 compared to the standard values reported by the USDA for commercial eggs
Pasture chickens (with skin on) contain 21 percent less fat, 30 percent less saturated fat and 50 percent more vitamin A than the USDA standard.
After having read this I CANNOT EVER EAT STORE BOUGHT CHICKEN OR EGGS!
Unfortunately our laying chickens are only 6 weeks old and wont lay eggs till they are 4 or 5 months and our broiler chickens are only 3 weeks old and dont plan on eating these until the next batch of babies!
