Crop from an outdoor fashion shoot...
While the angle is certainly not "Traditional", I do like how this turned out. Any comments?

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 would avoid having the elbow point at the camera. It has that foreshortened look.
As far as the angle, I don't see anything wrong or bad with it.
Thanks, Eddie. I see what you mean about the elbow. I had not noticed that. Here is another crop on that same shot, and looking at the expanded version, I don't notice the foreshortened elbow as much.
Sorry, I should have wrote my comment a little clearer. The foreshortening isn't so much with the elbow. It has to do with the perceived length of a limb, in this case her arm. It's much more noticeable on the 2nd photo. Her arm on the left is much shorter than the right. Looks like she has a dwarf arm; sometimes it can look like a stump.
The arm on the right, IMO, is the "proper" way. Not because it's higher, but, because she's "spreading" her arm. Notice how much longer (and thinner) it is compared to the left. Had she done a similar thing to the arm on the left, that arm and forearm would have looked longer and thinner.
Noted. Agree.
