old pressoir by quietpurplehaze

old pressoir

Looks more like an instrument of torture to me - which I suppose it was - for the grapes.
I stepped on a grape once, it didn't say anything but just let out a little wine :-)

Thank you -had fun with the camera settings taking shots of these pressoirs indoors under lighting - at one point the camera was doing better on auto than I was on manual. I was NOT amused!

@quietpurplehaze I often use a program setting, 'P' or 'av' on mine, sometimes the Manual 'M'. 'P' wors well a lot of the time. Signing off now, tea, watch a film, before the footie starts!

Yes, I try P too sometimes since you told me about it - all this photography keeps me out of mischief anyway!
