Hi everyone! I am a student at the Art Institute of Phoenix. I have built up my commercial product portfolio but am now practicing my portraiture techniques. If you have the time to take a look, I am looking for honest feedback. Thanks!
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.

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.

Eileen: Love the tonal quality in image one. Great happy pose in image two, but for my personal taste the facial lighting seems just a bit high key across the left ( facing camera) side of the face.
Given I'm writing this from Scotland and not the 'Valley of the Sun' I'm envious around the amount of natural light available to you!
Similar type of image as per shot two from my portfolio (which might better help explain my point:)

Thank you very much Doug! I can see what you mean about the light. And yes, we have lots of sun here!
