Thanksgiving Takeaway

This is a lens test shot taken through the closed bathroom window in northwestern Litchfield County, Connecticut. The lens is an old original Tamron Adaptall, Model SZ-38, 38-100mm f3.5 Close-focusing Zoom Lens, manufactured between 1973 and 1976. This lens is very heavily built and weighs 750 grams. This male Red-bellied Woodpecker, Melanerpes carolinus, is a regular visitor and has become more tolerant of my close presence.

For this image I used my Tamron Adaptall, Model SZ-38, 38-100mm f3.5, Close-focusing Zoom Lens with attached Tamron Adaptall Pentax KM Mount on my Pentax K5 Camera, Shake reduction set to 100mm focal length, ISO 800, f8 or 11, Lens zoomed to 100mm and close focus set to closest distance, 1/160 sec, with available ambient light. This is a full resolution Large JPEG and is Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) and is without any post-processing, editing, adjusting, cropping, or re-sizing. Be sure to view this one large, as there is much detail visible.
