The Patrick’s moved their base to the Chaumette Vineyards & Winery in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri for my niece’s wedding. The ceremony was very nice and the location was fantastic, but the best part of the week was being with my family—brothers, sisters, wife, son, special daughter and, of course, the grandchildren.
I must admit, young Mr. Cameron stole the show. He put himself into the middle of everything. I believe that he truly thinks he is the same as his five year old sister and seven year old brother. He seems to think that he can get his way by simply smiling at everyone.Today’s photo was taken after a small storm moved through the area and just before sunset. In the photo, I wanted to show the colors of the sunset and the shadows that the low sun cast over the vineyard. I set the white balance to K7,500 to add warmth to the photo.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8 shot at 42mm, ISO 800, f/8 and 1/125th of a second.
Post Processing:
Lightroom—Set black and white points, adjusted hue and saturation of various colors and added clarity and mid-tone contrast.
Photoshop—used nik Color Efex Pro Tonal Contrast filter to add detail to the foreground.
Very restful, but I think you over did it with the golden color. The color seems to take away from the overall scene.

I like the golden glow of the pix. I can image myself sipping a little wine while the light changes.

Great capture of a beautiful location. I love the color and shadows. The photo has so much depth front to back. It's like I'm standing in the middle of the shot when I look at it.
ReplyDeleteI like this a whole lot -- really beautiful colors and tones. Was wondering how you decided on this crop with the road off to the right. Were you limited on your position? Great shot nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteDoug has the same feeling about the image that I have. You feel like you could just walk into the scene.

Seriously Larry, how do you find all these 'made for postcard' landscapes? This is a great image, perhaps a bit too gold for me as well. However, since I am usually wrong, your color selection is probably spot on for the effect you were looking for.

This looks like wine country. I am surprised that it is wine country in Missouri. Well done photograph.

I have been going back and forth about the golden color of the image. Not sure which way I will ultimately come down on the color. I do like the feeling of the photo. The photo makes we want to sit, sip some wine and enjoy the company of friends and family.

Nice photodiode. Love the colors.

Beautiful image with a lot of strong cinematic qualities! And nice use of your white balance to warm it up!
ReplyDeleteWell done!

Hi Larry-
ReplyDeleteI'd like to say I'm sorry for not keeping up with your blog lately. Seems that life has requested a bit more time from me and my blogging and blog reading has suffered immensely.
That said, I love this image. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
I agree with Barry, I think this does have strong cinematic qualities. But I also think that this image moves me. There were thoughts and ideas that immediately popped into my head when I first saw this.
I thought of an old farm house with windows open, curtains blowing, a radio playing a 40's era song and a little lemon aid in a glass sitting on a small table while someone rocking in a rocker on the front porch thinking about another great day that is coming to a close.
Beautiful....
I'd view this once more simply to listen for the narrator. :D Adore that accent!
