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.

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.

I dig the exposure and tones. His face is lit nicely.
Unfortunately, the helmet glare is quite stark and detrimental though, as-are the pose and expression. Do you have one at this focal length where he looks like he’s on the bike staring down the camera? That might be cool.
Also, the branding on his shirt is distracting. Unless it’s a product shot, might be better to clone / go with a solid shirt next time.
Thanks Robert!
The Glare is strong and distracting as you suggested. My idea was to emphasize the glossiness of the helmet, ended up being distracting.
What would you suggest for the glare, Reduce or totally remove?
As for the expressions, I believe my fried was a little uncomfortable, will get it better in future shots. New shots are on the way will post them as soon as I can.
Agree on the shirt, unfortunately it was the guy's call. Tried talking him into wearing a biker's jacket, he didn't like the idea, chose this instead.
good
