Tastefully Simple - Grapes #3
A somewhat rare cluster of grapes in that it has escaped from the surrounding vegatation and is in the clear! Oh, but not for long!

5D, 100 - 400L @ 300mm, 1.3 @ f/11, ISO 100, +0.67 exp bias

Love all the colors Wayne, and the simple composition. Makes me hungry or ,er thirsty. I've enjoyed all your grape shots.

When does harvest start, Wayne? Looks great - I love the separation of the background. All these grape images are making me want to open a bottle of wine!

Wayne like the simplicity of the grapes. I am not much of a wine drinker but I do like grape photographs.

All of your grape shots are outstanding. The lighting and point of focus is spot on in them all. They should be hanging on a winery wall.

Nice specimen, well lit and expertly photographed. Good work Wayne.

How could you refrain from eating them. :)

I agree, all of your grapes images have been excellent.

Thanks for posting.

You've been racking up some really outstanding grape shots Wayne, some of the best I've ever seen! Keep 'em coming.

Beautiful, clean shot with great lighting.

Thirty and forty years ago and more, the land around the Italian community of Tontitown just west of Springdale was mostly grape vineyards, but any more they're hard to find for all the housing developments and gas and go joints. For decades when I visited the St. Joseph cemetary in August the air would be heavy with the fragrance of ripening grapes. It's a good memory to have.
