I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.

Outside the tourist area photos.
These photos were taken just outside of a small town in central Portugal.

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

Hi, Don!
The picture is beautiful! The model is awesome, the background and the dress combines well each other, the makeup is simple but clean.
The pose maybe is not the most flattering. Her left ear is a little bit distracting for me, it catches my attention too much.
And I would add some separarion between the model and the background, maybe a rim or a hair light.
Thank you!
Thanks. Hard to do a hair /rim light using just one light. :-). I burned the ear a bit but it is naturally there. Cheers!
Yeah, that's my point. Dark hair + dark background, better to use 2 lights setup.
Agreed. I wanted the photo as shot though. One light.
