Colours



Its raining again. 22mm Since Wednesday.

Suckering in the vineyards is slowly coming to an end. The vineyards are growing fast and look very healthy. Pinotage, Chenin blanc and Chardonnay have started flowering.


I played around with my cellphone camera, and this is what came out:




Negative

Monochrome





I've learned that when you want to see the sunlight penetration in a vine, you photograph it in mono (black and white) and set your ISO as high as possible. You can just over expose it too. This highlights the white parts which are the sunlight parts (the non shadow parts).

So that is it for today - a photography tip from a novice.

  1. The ability of digital cameras to pick up infrared rays (we can see remote controllers of TV flash through mobile phone cameras) may favour to estimate the sunlight penetration in grapevines.
