I'm learning to use me new Laowa Venus macro lens and this is one of the most presentable so far. No flash:  learning to use the twin flash is a whole other challenge.

There seems to be a cult following of this lens here!  I would say you are getting the hang of it very well Cheryl, the photo has a very soft feel to it which I like.

Thank you Denis. A beginner..,,,

So when are you getting  one  Denis ?    To be fair, mine isn't the Venus Macro it's a wide 15mm f4 macro  but it is fun to use ... and I  am finding   it really  interesting the effects  one can get  with it ...

A great start Cheryl - and you will find that with practice, you'll get better and better. These 2:1 lenses are buggers to master but give some stunning returns for the effort.

Very unlikely to be honest I really like seeing others images. It takes me too long to master things with a steep learning curve, and I find my enthusiasm wanes. I will stick to my happy snaps

I think  you are being modest really Denis ... happy snaps  is not  the way I would  describe your  photographs at all.

I wish I  could  get some decent aircraft images  occasionally,  like yours and Colin's ...   I suppose  we all have a few areas where we  feel we are a bit more skilful  than  in other areas ... The problem is by  trying to be  decent at all  genres can finish up with a jack of all trades and master of none scenario ..  a trap  I am easily likely to fall in  to
