All, I'm working on some images of local vineyards areas (Clarksburg, El Dorado, and Shenandoah Valley AVAs). I'm doing a fair bit of digital darkroom work and all of the pics in the gallery are "work prints" (i.e., I'm not done with them yet). The first three images are were taken last month on a bright sunny-cloudy day in between rainstorms. The vineyards are mostly bare at this time and I'm trying to convey a certain stark, spare feeling. The last image was taken last fall right around harvest time and shows an El Dorado vineyard fully leafed out.
