Yesterday we played at Deer Creek Winery in Selma, OR - Nice place! http://www.deercreekvineyards.com/
I discovered it would probably be good to get a wider angle lens for vineyard shots.

Here are a few pics from there.
#1 was a kind of study in HDR "realism", composed from 3 different shots of a rather inviting looking spot in the vineyard.

compositionally okay?

Does this one do anything for ya?

I really like the shots but while reading your initial text I thought that I was losing my mind. Your avatar moved! I caught the motion out of the corner of my eye and thought yes it moved or no it didn't...... I am getting old and eyes do play tricks so I just sat there and watched it move again. What a relief.

Cool avatar! And I do like your pictures......Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, and yes, my cat avatar's mission is to steal an extra 10 seconds from every viewer - mission accomplished! :wink:

All 3 are sharp with good contrast and color but none really do anything for me. They seem to just be snapshots of your day and for all I know that's all they're ment to be. Just my opinion.............

Yes, you are quite correct, they are snapshots of my day - we were really there to play music (which I am hopefully a bit better at than photography, I guess). Thank you for your comments.
