A Different Kind of Day

Today was as balmy as May with temperatures in the high 60's, but I did not have a chance to enjoy it. I filed two stories, interviewed an author I adore, wrote a rough draft of a third story and then joined my husband at a wine and food tasting at the Chatham Bars Inn, where I practiced taking photos of strangers.

No one blinked an eye at my camera, but it was still surprisingly hard to get a good photo because there were so many people milling around. This photo was the best that I managed to capture of the event.

You did a pretty good job with this one. Tells the story perfectly, without a lot of distracting background.

[Anne ❀]

great focus on the wine glass ... ;-)

[lorihiro]

Cheers my dear! You capture the pour just right! :-)

Cheers from away over here, too! Great focus and great cuff!

That's my kind of day. Love the mood of this!

[Diana Moss]

[Rick Schies]

I like hgow you composed this one Laurie. It's only Monday, and you are busy already? That's how mine started yesterday, and I hope it slows down.

[Melissa Pike]

Ooh, wonderful shot! I'm jealous that you got to go to a wine and food tasting at Chatham Bars! What a gorgeous spot!

[Mike Warren]

Very nice composition and color.

[Terry]

[Shirley Banford]

Well, great shot to end your busy day. Lovely DOF.

Photos should tell a story and this is a great one. Really nice shot.

[deb]

Ahh, but looks like a perfect ending to a hectic day! Nice clarity in the pouring!

[robinwarner]

another fabulous capture from my artistic and talented friend. Sending you huge hugs...and i feel them coming back to me. I think we both need them right now. xoxoxoxooxo

[Laura Thornton]

Laurie, this could be an ad for whatever wine that was. Really beautifully captured. I took photos at a large party and they all came out like crap. Perhaps it had something to do with wine; I don't quite recall.

[Naomi]

This is great, the focus is perfect and I love the colours.
Re: Thank you so much, that means a lot x

Great light and focus Laurie! I tried to get a similar shot last time we went on a wine tour, but no joy.

[Joyce Wells]

Laurie - you may have had a busy day, but to end up at a wine tasting at the Chatham Bars Inn was a pretty good way to end your day!

[Karen Sylvia]

Oh I really could go for a wine and food tasting right now! Lol. I've been cooking most of the day. I like your composition here.

[Sandie Reardon]

Some days we take photos of wine, other days we drink it. Very nice, Laurie. Love the DOF.
