I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Mixing Film and Night - New for Me
Here are a couple long exposure shots using my original 50 year old Minolta SR-T201 and kit lens shooting Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 II. Both images were taken just at the end of blue hour.

This is the Best, until I see what someone may do with a ... say a girl.
I love this, many composites lack story, or are thought provoking - yours does. I struggle with this, but are slowly working my way towards it. Well done.
Thank you, it was no easy feat took me a while with a couple of reshoots
Yes I am doing composites lately. Lot to learn about angle of shooting to match backgrounds, lighting etc.
I thought that this kind of photography would be easy but finding it hard to pick the correct time of day to shoot and the correct places Good job though. One little thing I've noticed in this - childs face looks as though you had photoshopped a piece of grass from his face? Maybe you could darken it down slightly? if it is a piece of grass, did you try spot removal?
