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.

Painterly. Beautiful. I usually don't care for cropping there, either cut off the top of the head or give a little more room, but it works here well. Background adds a real richness. Well done!
Thank you!
I don't really mind the crop. The transition between the top of her head and background is not very abrupt and blends in so softly that I hardly even see the top of her head / transition anyway. Otherwise I would probably be more inclined to agree with you.
Think we're saying the same thing...in this case, due to the softness, it works well. Nice image, Rusian.
Yes, my brain zeroed in on the "either cut off the top of the head or give a little more room" part I completely missed the fact that you think it works well here as well.
Well done Ruslan, beautifully lit, posed, and the elegance of the long Neck, gracefully turned, Bravo.
Beautiful lighting and post processing. Colors are great. Gives a very painterly vibe.
This is an amazing portrait and I love the painterly quality and lighting. I would love to be able to produce images as beautiful, how did you place and use lighting here?
