I spent a little time in the drizzle this afternoon imaging the Cedar Waxwings and managed to capture this one in the beginning of a flight. This Cedar Waxwing was imaged in Royal River Park in Yarmouth, Maine, USA. For this image, I used my manual focus Tamron Adaptall-2 Model 55BB SP 500mm f8 Mirror Lens and Tamron Adaptall-2 140f 1.4X Flat Field Teleconverter with attached Tamron Adaptall-2 Pentax K M Mount on Pentax K20D Camera, hand held, manually focused, Manual mode, Shake Reduction set to 700mm, ISO 1600, f8 on lens, 1/350 sec, with available ambient light. My lens was functioning as a 700mm f11 Mirror Lens. This full resolution Large JPEG was edited in FastStone to darken the highlights slightly and increase the contrast slightly
