Hey guys, I'm very much a beginner with photography and have only just had the courage to start posting online, I would very much like to receive some feedback on my shots and any tips, tricks and advice is very welcome. Thanks in advance. DC x
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.

Handsome kid! Not sure if this is helpful as I am relatively new to portraiture also. Have you shot flash directly at his face? I'd be looking up Rembrandt lighting if you're doing single light photography. IMHO, this image looks a little on the flat side because of the direct light source.
I don't have any lighting equipment, I've only just started out. This was one of the very few shots I was proud of whilst in manual mode. I will certainly look into lighting techniques though, thanks for the tip 👍🏼.
NICE
Lighting looks fine to me. My only issue is his left hand directing my attention away from his head. However, if he was my kid I would hang a 16x20 in my living room!! :-)
