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.

I think it looks great!!
The only thing that I would do is tone down the red in the part in her hair. Kinda stands out to me.
Although the light is very uniform you do have some modeling, enough for a beauty shot, although more would also have been good. The hair blowing is not ideal, imo, but not a disaster, by any means.
Her lipstick works and is very much a match for the warmth in her hair colour, well done. If she is wearing any other make-up it is lovely, or is her complexion just fab, or have you done a great airbrush job? The point is, I can't tell, and that is how it should be when you go for a natural look, as here.
I don't know if you deliberately coloured the background to match her eyes but either way, well done. To my thinking making the background either perfectly even or more uneven might have looked better but now I am really being tough.
It is very good indeed. I am sure she'll love it.
Thank you both, I loved hearing your insight.
Love the minimal smoothing. She has a very natural look, to me. I agree on the hair movement....it looks ok, but not sure it fits here.
