Vineyard Valley (When your wife forgets your camera part 2)

[Otavio]

Here are some images from the Vineyard valley we visited in our last trip. It is located in Bento Gonçalves (Southern Brazil) and is the main wine region of Brazil. Many wine groups are located there and you can visit as many of them as you'd like to during a ring drive of about 40km. Most of them offer a guided tour showing their vineyards, process and, of course, you can taste their wines and buy some bottles.

As told in the part 1 (When your wife forgets to bring your camera...(part 1)), I was withouth my camera in this trip and had to shoot these with a 8mp cell phone camera. Thanks for viewing. C&C welcomed. Regards...

#1 - Cabernet Sauvignon vines (Cant avoid thinking of Donald making these in B&W, so here we go with both versions)




#2 - Miolo Wine group - Brazil's biggest


#3 - Bottles at Miolo tour


#4 - At Strapazzon wine - A family of italian immigrants that produce wine (in a much smaller scale than Miolo)


#5 - Inside an old wooden house in Strapazzon

The first one has a rather wide range of light values to capture in just one shot but the black & white version works very well.

The others work fine; although I wonder about losing a bit of the sky in #2 and going for a more panoramic size ratio?

Nice series, good exposure and perspective.

Another set nicely done, Otavio. I really like the compositions in no.3 and no.5. The phone(and PP?) did a good job with the techs as well.

Hi, Geoff. Thanks for your feedback. I will play with #2 compositions, as per your suggestion. Regards,

Hello, Dan. Thanks for passing by. Yes, I had to use considerable PP trying to compensate the phone limitations. Kindest regards,
