Today, I took my sister and brother-in-law to Bodegas Francisco Gomez, a big,
modern wine producer which is a great place to visit with guests from abroad.
Since I know the place well, having visited several times, I indulged in some
detail/macro photography with my little Ricoh GR.
The bottles in storage:

I like this one quite a lot. It strikes me that the Bodega might, too. It would be perfect in promotional materials, on
a web site, etc. The name on the cork up front is perfect.
The corks are generally overexposed, red channel blocked up, but there's detail to pull down. I messed with the front
bottle to recover detail, then applied ShadowHighlight highlight reduction to the rest.

The bokeh of most modern lenses at many subject-background distances leaves a lot to be desired, to my eye. This is by
no means the worst, with large, hard edged discs for specular highlights; at least the centers aren't dark. Still, I
keep trying to find a way to correct such highlight disks to something like a normal airy disk. Here, the noise (which
I'm not objecting to.) makes individual location corrections impossible,as they change the noise locally.
I like what it did to the highlights, but have to pretend that a faster lens
with less DOF was used. :-)
