Shooting with just the light from the regular lamps in the room, so as not to possibly distress Friday with camera flashes, results in a pretty narrow depth-of-field in the photos - the focus is at its sharpest only at one small distance from the lens, with the rest of the photo being gradually more blurry, the further away from that focal point. So for photography in this type of situation, it becomes important to carefully select the focal point of each shot.
I took one photo where the focal point was on Friday's face, and another where it was on her wing (the next two shots in this album). She barely moved between the two shots. So I was able to create a digital composite, where I combined the sharpest parts of both photos, to see all of her in better detail.
