The Soil, The Vine, The Winery......

all full frame, working on my 12 inch laptop so PP not up to standard..... a few of the shots from today in the Hunter...... and yes I have a few samples.......

I like them, good captures, very inviting!

The three are very effective as a series, maybe you can try and complete them at a later stage with a grape shot. Or even one of the final product

My only niggle would be the bokeh in #1 which isn't quite to my liking. But at least you can blame that on the gear

Cheers

I like them too.

For me the third shot is my favourite. I think it's just because there is more interest and colour in the shot. I think I would like it even more if it were cropped at the gap in the vines just below the fence. I like the winding road into the shot.

Edit: Just adding how I like the light on the leaves in the second shot. Very nice.

IF you can crop the vine to be portrait you could create a tripytch (Spelling?)

That would have a more series feel to it.

thanks for the comments....... these where not meant to be a series at all, but a small part of a commercial shoot which I am working on over the next 3-4 months. In regard to the comments on cropping, if this image was cropped, there would be no room for type or a logo, and yes there is a vertical version of this image. Over 6 gig of raw images shot on the day, some set up others on the move, from a lot of different locations around the location. A lot of these shots will be repeated with different lighting conditions over the time period and different levels of growth on the vines

The last shot of the driveway up to the winery is great composition - it really draws the eye nicely through the shot and makes great use of the vineyard opposite. The blurry foreground makes sense having read your comments too. I expect to see some of this in my mailbox in a few months.

...... oh yes....... also all the comments make it easier for me on the next round of shots, as it helps to know what people like and dislike with an image, so it can be improved

here are some more..... the above images and these were shot with the 300-mm 2.8.......
