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.

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

Hi Cristian. For me everything is done well.
Darker background fixes the eyes on the model. Seeing the hair streaks I assume the background was the same and not changed in PP. leaving little of the left, there are no major distractions. Am sure you also know about a hair steak on right eye.
on the contrary, requesting to share your lighting set up, meter mode and other meta. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback! I share what you requested

Hi Cristian. Thanks. so this was natural light portrait. Spot meter darkened the background.
Good processing.
Exactly. Natural light only. Thank you Vijay
I think that the hands need some retouching too. Or the face needs less. There is too much difference in visible detail between them and the face.
Otherwise I like it.
Thank you for the feedback Adam. Appreciate it
I like the deep DOF. It’s just enough context and still blurry enough to separate. I also like level of darkening to pop out the subject.
I don’t like messing with flyways myself, but, I think I would have tried to get rid of a lot of them, especially the ones contrasting the dark background. Also, the strands across her eye. I suck at photoshopping so I can see that being a little tuff, maybe.
The smoothing on her face looks too heavy handed. That style at that smooth level usually has the tendency to give skin a flat look and plasticky.
I would smooth her hands a little and reduce the red/pinkness.
Last one :) remove the gold/yellow cast from her throat. And, slightly smooth that too.
Great feedback! Thank you!
