Shooting with an old friend: Ironstone Winery, the grounds
My old friend in this case is my 18 – 55 mm lens. It is my utility lens. Every time I promise myself to shoot with the prime 50 for the day, I usually pick up the 18 – 55. It is so nice that I rarely use my ultra wide lens when I have to carry the gear all day. I can do landscape and close up with this lens.
During our Ironstone Winery visit, I used my D7100 and the macro and 18 – 55 lenses. I will say that I look impressive with my sling (that sometimes carries two cameras) and vest. I’m pushing to live up to the image! In this post, you will see the grounds where they hold life cycle events and underground wine storage facility they call the cavern.
So here’s to my old friend, my 18 – 55! And here are the images.
This old truck and cart greet you as you come in from the parking lot.
A stream.
This will give you a better view of the cavern.
A close up view of the wine barrels in the cavern.
A lake view.
Sculptured grounds with the lake behind it.
They hold wedings, and more here at lakeside.
A little stream and bridge.
This old music player was placed before a mirror and made a nice reflection.
The banquet hall where they hold concerts, dinners, and cooking classes. There is a pipe organ in the auditorium side of the big room.
You know how I love expressive trees. This one just adds to the beauty.
Some old gears put to good use.
This tree framed Charlie so well.
This is one of the winery’s cats.
At the end of the day, we decided to stop at Lake Natoma to catch the sunset.
Your captures shine with this lens.
