Vintage Lens
Another visit to our garden using a vintage lens (Canon FD 50mm f/1.4) on my Canon R5. NOTE: With this lens the minimum focusing distance is 18" at which point you have 1/4" depth of field.

Austin, Texas Blue Hour
Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.
Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!

Two from Tenerife
My two favourite images from my recent night time adventure in Tenerife. Foregrounds and skies were shot separately and blended in PS.

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?

Vintage Lenses
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.

A very nice headshot. Good expression and pose/composition. I think the hair light is a bit strong and the key light might have been better a little further to the side so to cast a bit of soft shade on the right of the face, to make it a bit more 3d and real. But it is nearly excellent, IMO.
I like how the model's personality is coming through.
Thank You!
I think that this image would benefit from a lighter background. With a young, happy, female subject like this, I'd be inclined to go solid white to separate her from the BG, and lighten up the mood. I also think that her expression is a little forced/posed. Getting a natural smile might be the hardest thing in headshot photography, but this is a great start! Keep at it!
