First portrait with my Nikon D750 and an 85mm 1.8G. Lighting was with a 36" Octobox and a rim light against a black background. C&C welcome and appreciated. Thanks!

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!

Two from Tenerife
My two favourite images from my recent night time adventure in Tenerife. Foregrounds and skies were shot separately and blended in PS.

Any interest in this group?
Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?

Vintage Lenses
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.

Glasses always present a challenge and you have made him look good with no poblem effects from his specs. The back-light is beautifully judged although the edge of his shirt collar, against the bg, looks like a cut out edge. He does look very good but I would be interested to know if you have any other versions, with less fill from below, to add further impact. I see you have not actually added any to speak of, or perhaps at all, but some floor or table seems to be throwing a touch back up from your key light.
Well done.
Thanks, Ian, for your feedback. Coming from you, it is especially appreciated. The "fill from below" is, in all probability, the "spill" from the octobox because of an 8ft. ceiling limitation and the light's placement. I don't recall any other reflective surfaces that would have provided the fill.
Again, thanks.
I like it, but my brain keeps wanting me to see him moved to the left of the image so he has open space in the direction his body s facing - too much friction on the right side of the image. Also there's a distracting white dot on the button of his collar.
