I must admit I have been lax in both my shooting and posting recently, perhaps due to the fact my wife has now retired, and we are spending a LOT more time together doing various activities.

The Sun and the Moon: Edited to add last photo
I wanted to see how my 50 year old Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 s.s.c. would handle photographing both the Sun and the Moon.

love them well done!!!!!!
Paul, you should indeed be please with these results. Good work.
Would love to see more if you've got some.
cheers
I like them, very nice but maybe the depth of field is too narrow, I think Hurley has everything in focus. But great stuff.
I believe in one of his videos he mentioned shooting at 6.7
yeah 6.3 so the eyes to ears are in focus - this looks like 2.8 on a 70-200mm ?
i like the shallow depth of field and that her top matches well with the background. I like the simple and minimal feel to these images!
Hi Paul,
I'm glad the tutorials fired you up in shooting headshots! The 2nd image is pretty good, although I'm not sure the expression in genuine. I'm not a fan of the silhouette on the first. With the neckline going one way and the head the other it looks a bit uncomfortable to me.
