One of the things I learnt while in Germany is that there's a vast difference between hand-crafted wines and the ones that are mass-produced for the supermarket shelves. For example, only 5% of the world's vineyards are harvested by hand. For Van Volxem wines (the winery I was shooting for last month) each vineyard is picked three times: once to remove any bad grapes; on a second occasion, to harvest the first crop of grapes for their cheaper vintages; and on a final occasion to pick the remaining grapes for their more select wines. This photograph was taken to reference the hand-crafted nature of their wines, so it's a bit out of context when posted as a blog entry, but I decided that it was probably worth posting here too.

Dave theres an interesting thread on id7.co.uk about your recent pics, and another picture of you hard at work that your adoring fans might like to see. Thought I'd let you comment also, we want to know your opinion on something, the topic is commercial photography, over freestyle imagery. I do like the DoF in this shot, and THAT lens is a must have, would sort all my problems with the mid range, fantastic stuff.... CJ

I love the diverse textures in this one. The shot works, even out of context. Nicely done as always.
