Our next visit next was to Grant Burge winery, Barossa Valley September 4, 2013 Australia.
Grant Burge is a fifth-generation Barossa Vigneron. Throughout his career, Grant has been one of the most respected and innovative forces in the Australian wine industry. The history of the Burge family and their long association with winemaking in the region can be traced back to March 1855, when noted tailor John Burge immigrated to the Barossa from Hillcot, near Pewsey in Wiltshire, England with his wife Eliza and their two sons. With help from his sons Meshach and Henry, John’s farm flourished with wheat, sheep and viticulture. His eldest son Meshach continued the farming tradition and was a prominent community leader. He married Emma in the early 1900s and they had eight children. First-born Percival established the Wilsford Winery in 1916, beginning the Burge winemaking tradition. Percival had two sons, Noel and Colin, and Colin and his wife Nancy had one son, Grant. Following in the footsteps of his father and forefathers before him, Grant now carries the winemaking tradition into the 21st century.
Family Owned
Grant Burge Wines was formed in 1988 by Grant and his wife Helen, and is located in the heart of the Barossa Valley. Continuing the family tradition, Grant and Helen have now brought the sixth generation into the fold. Eldest son Toby is the company’s Vineyard Manager, upholding the premium quality and consistency of fruit produced from the vineyards. Amelia joined the Marketing Department in an assistant role early in 2007, and in late 2008 went out into the world to gain more experience to bring back to the company later on in her career. Trent, the youngest, has been part of the hardworking cellar team at the Illaparra Winery since 2006 and more recently has spent time in the vineyard. All three children share Grant and Helen’s vision to continue this long family tradition of bringing exceptional wines to the world.
“I am a romantic, and I have a real sense of my family history, of my father and grandfather, and what they achieved.” Grant Burge

The island fortress of Spinalonga has seen the face of war many times and has withstood battles and sieges. Unfortunately, these were not the saddest times the island has seen. Long after the cannons grew cold, the island was used as a leper colony, from 1903 to 1957, one of the last active ones in Europe. The fortress that was built to keep intruders out, became a prison, keeping ill people inside for decades.

I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.

Creepy tree Carton Kildare, shooting into the light on a misty morning has given this tree a creepy haunted look, it was taken on a misty morning with the Hasselbald 60mm lens and a yellow filter on a new film Lucky 100asa (e-Bay cheap and cheerful) developed in ID 11. A nice film that curls a lot but seems to handle this contrasty scene quite well.

I figured this would be the best way to capture the trees, of all the options I had in front of me. I had Velvia in my TX, the a95, and TMax P3200 loaded in the Stylus. I figured that if I used the TX or the a95, I'd blow out the skies, wheras the dynamic range of B&W film, even P3200, would make it a better image.
This is from the huntington garden, but I didn't post until lately. I scanned this one myself on my scanner. About the only thing I've done with this image was adjust the tonal curves from the scanner and dust-spot it.
Mit ner 18mm Brennweite kann man kein Vernünftiges Bild von der Binnenalster machen, so hab ich das Geschossen.
Kann sein das es ein wenig zu sehr HDR lastig ist, aber ich hab verschiedenste Einstellungen ausprobiert .. diese bringt am besten den Baum zur Geltung :)
