Another visit to our garden using a vintage lens (Canon FD 50mm f/1.4) on my Canon R5.
"Reaching" - 'Sambucus nigra', as my wife calls it, or Black Lace Elderberry for the rest of us.
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?
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 like it. Nice composition, contrast, and lighting. Good job!
Looks pretty good, but the Elmer's Glue white eyes looks even more retouched in a black and white. Nice lighting and pose. Well done.
I agree with the white eyes, definitely something I should look out for and tone it down :-)
I always struggle with the white of the eye, not sure what is a happy place. To retouch eyes I use PS new layer with overlay blend mode @ 50% opacity and then brush on the eyes with low flow (5%), I keep the opacity of the brush at about 80%. Any suggestions here?
Dan you raised some very good points, this model actually asked me for 5 shots, and this is the last of the 5. The first two are full body, sitting and standing and in color, for the other three, he wanted to go for a little bit more dramatic and monochrome.
I do have a question, is the use of F1.8 too shallow for editorial/ main headshot purposes, should I use a higher F stop next time around?
