Vineyard Photography August 2020 |
||||
|
||
| 'Been photographing this vineyard for 20 years or more. | ||
|
||
| The ongoing drought and this year's excessive heat has taken its toll on the vines. | ||
|
||
| Had a very hard time finding grape clusters without "raisins". | ||
|
||
| The decay was interesting but not very photogenic. | ||
|
||
| Perhaps I arrived too late to catch the grapes at their peak. | ||
|
||
| Having never tasted one, I have no idea if the grapes are tart or sweet. | ||
|
||
| But they look perfectly lucious. | ||
|
||
| Each grape cluster is unique. | ||
|
||
| Each is a natural composition. | ||
|
||
| An inspiration to the eye. | ||
|
||
| Even in their various stages of decay. | ||
|
||
| After a while, started using my 60mm macro lens. | ||
|
||
| Here and there, tiny grape clusters were still ripening amid the overall decay. | ||
|
||
| Skins of some grapes show scratches and scuff marks. | ||
|
||
| Attracted by seasonal colors. | ||
|
||
| Gnarled old vine cradles a heavy cluster of grapes. | ||
|
||
| Wandered around for maybe an hour taking photos. | ||
|
||
| Sadly, saw a "For Sale" sign on this acreage. | ||
|
||
| So this could be the last year to practice photography in this vineyard. | ||
