Vintage Lens
Another visit to our garden using a vintage lens (Canon FD 50mm f/1.4) on my Canon R5. NOTE: With this lens the minimum focusing distance is 18" at which point you have 1/4" depth of field.

Austin, Texas Blue Hour
Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.
Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!

How about using a dark background and lighting the edges and contours of the object? Sharp angles for the lights might help bring out textures and details without illuminating the whole thing too much. Try using a polariser on your lens for extra control over reflections from the lights if needed
