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.

I am not expect but the gaps in hair would bother Hurley for sure. Other than that seems good to me.
I like it apart from the gaps mentioned, which are not a massive no no. Your subject is very slightly too pale, imo. The expression may not be a classic Hurley, not that I am a student of his style. Often Peter has his white backgrounds totally white, ie so white they only just register as not being over white. You do have a lovely uniformity to your white background but it is argualbly just too dark.
Looks to me like you and your lovely model are poking a bit of fun at Mr. H.
Good job!
Lets see more.
cheers
Thanks for the comments, I agree with everything said. This was the last shot taken, hence the silly pose but I thought it was the most interesting and the flash didn't actually fire so whitened the background in post. thanks again.
