Second attempt at a self portrait, using a yonguno flash with a beautydish as my main light, then a small led panel as a edge light with a reflector as a bit of a fill.

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.

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?

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.

Outside the tourist area photos.
These photos were taken just outside of a small town in central Portugal.

i like the light. But you like tired !
very cute looking..lol
Well that looks MUCH better than the first one.
Your look is a bit sleepy though, and usually one would brighten up the eyes in post processing.
I would also soften the extreme shades on the left side of the face a bit.
I think the shaddow is to harsh, it might have worked with black & white but for color, I don't know. Perhaps have a reflector to iluminate the left side of your face and the neck?
Also the smile, I would do it without, and yeah the look should be more alert, perhaps even a bit aggressive.
