Finally after 2 posts of shots from my 3 day visit to the wine regions in North East Victoria I have a shot of some grapes (Allicant Bouche to be precise :wink: ) - and a few pics that aren't of grapes.

To see the larger image, click the picture. More images are here and here.

i really like that second shot... and would like to see it with a sepia tone. i'd perhaps straighten it up just a tad to make it look a little more level.

cheers

Mark, Chris, Big Pix

Thanks for the comments. I didn't even notice #2 was crooked when I was cropping it and that's something I'm usually quite careful with. I'll straighten and update the image so the shot above will change and make the straighten it comments redundant :cry:

These three shots really appealed to me because of their vibrancy.

I'll look at sepia for #2 and if it looks good will add the image tonight.

Thanks Geoff. Congrats with the monitor. Makes a huge difference. What you need to do next is calibrate it with a Spyder and you'll be all done :wink:

I've just straightened the second pic above. Below is the shot in sepia. Don't know about the rest of you, but I prefer the colour version (I like the yellow tree at the end of the right hand side leading line)

Oh and big pix - if you can't find the chardonnay I may have it here :wink:

the sepia tone does give it a really old look, i really like it. to me it seriously looks like it may have been taken 50+years ago
