Wine Grapes

I set out to find and photograph wine grapes. This is a bit late in the season and most of the vineyards have already been harvested. Fortunately, Clos Le Chance Winery, which is only a few miles from my house, had a couple of varieties still on the vines, and I found one vineyard that was not surrounded by a fence.
The grapes were plentiful.
The sun was very bright and caused a lot of bright spots and shadows. I used a diffuser to even out the light, sometimes stretching away from the camera with the diffuser held up in one hand and the cable release in the other. I parked right next to the vines,
so I had all my camera gear close by...
and could change the lens as I needed.
The grapes looked like they were ready to pop.
The day was so pretty, I hated to leave.
I'll come back when the leaves have turned red and gold.
