Red Heaven Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The Meursault castle caves tour is a highlight of a wine trip to Burgundy. Such views with old barrels containing the most precious red nectar await the visitor at each corner and prepare him for the last room which is the degustation one. Very fine offer for tasting, and actually they expect you to buy something, but the wine there is rather overpriced, there is plenty of more reasonable offer around and you have paid for the tasted wine with the tour ticket already, so move on...

Hi,
I think the title is for those who like very much the wine :)
It's a very great picture. Great colors and composition. The note is very good.
Best regards

Bonjour Jean Yves,

I seem to be among the first to see this gem. The composition, light management and resolution are all superb. I wish the scale could be revealed somehow. Are the barrels approximately a meter in diameter, two meters? In any event, it is fabulous, and extremely tempting.

Warm regards,

Bulent

I always wanted to work in wine production professionally. Now looking at your photograph -endless barrels under mysterious light-, I see that I could also take mysterious photos in a wine facility and I once more regret my recent work...
Perfect light management, graphism at its best and excellent POV for such a view...
Congrats JY!

magalik (1402) 2009-09-08 13:20

Un p'tit verre pour moi, c'est pas de refus ! ;-)
Bonsoir Jean-Yves,
Elle me plaît bien cette photo. Elle est originale et puis... L'exposition est parfaite, les couleurs somptueuses et harmonieuses, la lumière bien gérée, la netteté parfaite et la perspective très intéressante. Peut-être trop parfaite ! ;-)
Si toute la journée, je vois des vignes et le soir, des tonneaux, je ne vais jamais m'en sortir ! ;-)
Merci Jean-Yves !
Bonne soirée.
Magali

Hello Jean Yves
Je suis peut etre un des rare francais qui ne bois jamais de vin mais je deguste quand meme la photo, vraiment sympa cette lumiere.
Bien vu
Sante

cbrman (19041) 2009-09-08 22:33

Hello Jean-Yves,

On aurait pu nommer cette image "Retour au source" ? ;-)
Jolie alignement de tonneau qui dorment dans une belle ambiance souterraine. Le trépied était de rigueur pour celle-ci.
Bonne journée.

A+

Dominique

xavshot (63025) 2009-09-08 22:35

Voila une image qui me parle Jean-Yves ;o)) Superbe alignement et très bonne gestion de l'exposition. Bien joué.
Bonne journée

InasiaJones (20695) 2009-09-08 23:09

Salut Pixi, defenseur des droits du consommateur!

Il s'en fallut de peu pour que les lampes viennent a cramer les pylones!... Pas facile ce genre de conditions de lumiere, mais tu t'en tires admirablement bien.

Heureusement que la photo fut prise avant la degustation!

Offre-t'on une reduction si l'on prend un baril plutot qu'une bouteille?..

Ciao cousin!

Andre

Clementi (44989) 2009-09-08 23:14

Ciao Jean Yves,
in these situations it is better to make photo before the tastes, she is not known what she can go out later, beautiful depth of the image and good definition.
Giorgio

jjcordier (25120) 2009-09-08 23:57

Jean Yves
J'espère que tu as quand même goûté le blanc, incontournable à Meursault!Ces caves voutées sont superbes et l'alignement de ces beaux tonneaux tout neufs excellent (petit regret de ne plus voir ces vieux tonneaux couverts d'araignées, posés un peu n'importe comment au milieu des vieilles caves....tout est si clean maintenant!)
Amitiés
JJ

hardyuno (2599) 2009-09-09 0:19

Bonjour JY,
the exposure is excellent, like the title. You have framed this picture and the colours really good. Thanks for sharing and for your text, too.
Have a nice day
Hartmut

snunney (35376) 2009-09-09 1:01

Hello Jean,
A fine composition depicting these prestigious wine cellars. The perspective along the rows of barrels is well chosen along the diagonal. I like the warm tones.

Nicou (45539) 2009-09-09 1:10

Hello,

Ta as pri l'image avant ou après la dégustation, superbe vue de ces barrique avec les voûte, les douce couleurs, mangigique.

bravo et amitié

Nicou

delpeoples (6634) 2009-09-09 2:36

Salut JY, you really have been turning out some "corkers" lately (excuse the pun :) This is wonderful. I love the golden tones and that beautiful symmetry of the wine barrels. Excellent use of shutter speed, the 6 seconds was well-chosen. And your shot is amazingly straight for someone surrounded by all that alcohol too! I hope you had a good ole taste of that red nectar ;) Lisa

macondo (13249) 2009-09-09 4:52

Hello J-Y.
Impeccable sharpness in your shot, plus a very good composition to begin with. The long lines of barrels make a great perspective and a pleasing diagonal in the 'portrait' orientation. Nice curves in the barrels and the arched ceiling. I like your title, too! I wonder if this is natural colour tones or a strong, rich sepia conversion. Anyway, it suits the subject perfectly.
Regards,
Andrew

ktanska (16695) 2009-09-09 5:33

Hi Jean-Yves,
Huge amount of those barrels make this astonishing. A place full of traditions, no wonder it comes with a price. Good diagonal angle.
Kari

Bartleby (5102) 2009-09-09 6:54

Salut JY,
ces barils font un excellent motif et la texture du plafond est top. En plus, c'est du bourgogne donc tout va bien.

Philippe

ade71 (194) 2009-09-09 8:46

Hi JY, I love this kind of picture. The POV is very good and time of exposure is perfect. Good details. Real interesting picture. Compliments, Adele

cherryripe (19159) 2009-09-09 10:27

Salut Xavier
Cela donne envie de boire un verre ce soir :-)
Belles profondeur grâce à ton pdv et lumière. J'aime beaucoup la texure du plafond aussi.
Bonne soirée
Nikki

paololg (14129) 2009-09-09 10:43

Ciao dear Jean Yves,
appreciable shot for the good management of the light, but surely it's also appreciable for the pleasant graphic effect of the barrels that create an interesting diagonal. It is a pity not to feel the perfume of the wine cellar!
Ciao have a nice evening!
Paolo

elihesamian (26091) 2009-09-09 10:54

Hi Jean Yves
glad to hear from you !
and ...what a heaven :)
great captured with a very good composition.
The semi sepia tonalities here is a great point.
You managed the light perfectly.good informative one,too.like the way you composed the perspective towards the depth,nicely done.
Best Wishes
M

feather (50070) 2009-09-09 11:50

The long rows of barrels make wonderful repeating patterns, which are excellent for the eye to follow as the perspective draws us through the image. I'm sure there would be no way to handhold in this light. Well done
Kath

gilou530 (35602) 2009-09-09 12:37

salut JY
qu'importe le vin pourvu qu'on est l'ivresse, ici tu as l'embarras du choix, belle perspective de tous ces tonneaux, un endroit qui fait rêver avec toutes ces barriques pleines de bon vin
amitiés
gilou
demain je donnerai le bonjour a didi de ta part

jafadabret (40217) 2009-09-09 13:18

Bonjour Jean-Yves.
Belle perspective d'une grande cave célèbre. J'aime le rendu du bois des tonneaux et l'ambiance presque sacrée de cette cave.
Bonne soirée !
Jacques

Juntas (3504) 2009-09-10 6:13

Hi Jean Yves. Great title. You the light very nicely and the lines of the barrels create a good effect. Consumers rights hein? Well, I prefer the white one (maybe next time?). Well done. Best regards. Paulo

ChrisJ (70443) 2009-09-10 6:42

Bonsoir Jean Yves

I'm not too fussy, & will drink both red & white wine. And from various countries, too, in addition to Australia (France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, CA USA, NZ etc). I haven't yet tried Chilean or South African wine. But I have tried Sth Korean red wine, which is so so. Good repetition of the vats here with excellent perspective & sharpness. Tfs. Bon weekend!

johannes68 (2878) 2009-09-10 8:10

Hallo JY,
solltest nach Chisinau fahren, da sind die Weinkeller so gross, dass man mit dem Auto durchfahren muss, allerdings die Qualität - naja, wollen wir das verschweigen!
Liebe Grüsse,
Johannes

Wandering_Dan (3283) 2009-09-10 9:27

Bonjour, Jean Yves -

Vineyards in Napa Valley also hope that you'll buy wine when you taste it; that's the point of a tasting. But when you pay for a tasting - and more and more places here are charging for one - that should be sufficient.

Oh, yes - the photo. Great handling of low light, though I'm a bit surprised they allowed you to bring a tripod. Beautiful lineup of all the elements in a classic diagonal. Definitely a contribution to the Symmetry theme, too.

Best,
Dan

patdeph (18270) 2009-09-10 9:41

salut Jean-Yves
j'aime beaucoup le graphisme donné par l'alignement des tonneaux,mais je suis aussi séduite pat les voutes de la cave et leur belle lumière dorée montrant le relief et la structure de la pierre!La perspective est excellente et l'ambiance chaleureuse à souhait!
Bizzz
Pascale

toto (18755) 2009-09-10 13:50

Bonsoir,
belle photo de haaaaa que cela doit être bon de prendre ces fût en photo, même le goût parvient jusqu' a nous, j' en sent l' odeur.
Belle prise avec cette bonne lumière et ce rangement rectiligne lui confère une beauté spéciale.
Merci du partage.

Amitiés Thomas

gneufeld (15233) 2009-09-10 18:13

Hi Jean,
A very impressive image with repeating shapes in strong diagonal lines. Great indoor light and colors. Well done and TFS. Gerald

Royaldevon (5938) 2009-09-11 0:02

Hello Jean Yves,

The subject was obviously inspirational!
The pov, with the receding barrels, and the f/g triangle, drawing the eyes inward, was well chosen.
I love how the curve of the ceiling matches the curve of the barrels.
The warm, sepia colours are very attractive.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

subhendu_bagchi (3452) 2009-09-11 0:46

Namaste,
great arrangement of barrels. There is a addictive mystic colour with addictive liquid inside the barrels. Nice light management and brilliant point of view. Tfs.
Have a nice time.
Subhendu

sacimar (7626) 2009-09-11 9:41

Hi JY,

interesting place and good picture, I like the perspective, excellent details and intersting tone of the image, well done!

Best regards

vasilpro (9302) 2009-09-11 12:43

Hello Jean Yves,,
Great light management in this excellent interior composition full of details.
Have a nice WE, Vasilis.

ribeiroantonio (21961) 2009-09-11 18:38

So they also charge for the tasting and expect us to buy from them? It is the same here in Australia. I only buy if I have a free tasting service.
Anyway, the tour was worth for the excellent shot you are sharing today. Well done.
Antonio

Morac (20789) 2009-09-12 3:12

Bonjour Jean-Yves,

J'accepterai volontiers une invitation dans ce lieu.
Pour l'endroit, bien sur que tu nous montres sous une belle lumière et un bel effet de profondeur et de perspective, mais aussi pour la production locale !
Bonne journée
Marc

marietom (32062) 2009-09-13 4:21

salut Jean-Yves,

C'est beau, ça donne envie d'y aller pour goûter tous ces bons crûs...
Très belle compo, avec ces alignements de tonneaux.
Bises
Marie

leo61 (43650) 2009-09-14 10:18

HI Jean Yves!
It`s cold outside and this evening I started my red wine season.Can you mail me one of these barrels??????
A great shot taken from the perfect POV.I like the brown tones,the light,the depth and you had a perfect lightmanagement her.
Gruß,Leo

Angshu (34027) 2009-09-14 20:58

Bonjour JY
The light is wonderfully captured especially along the columns & in the vaulted ceiling. The 6 secs exposure is superb & like the perspective created by the barrels. Fine work!
Best Regards
Angshu

Bluejeans (32945) 2009-09-15 5:48

Ola Jean ,
Que beleza de foto nestas caves com estas pipas de vinho , o ponto de visão em diagonal ficou fantástico deu bastante profundidade a foto , bonitos detalhes,parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

sevy (13918) 2009-09-15 8:03

Merci de defendre nos droits de consomateurs lol!
Content de voir que tu as pu trainer ton trepieds dans la cave (pas toujours accepté).
J aime bien aussi que tu n aies pas surcorrigé la balance des blancs pour nous laisser une part de l ambiance dans la cave.
Joli cadrage en ligne de fuite, il manque peut etre seulement un vigneron pour habiter la photo (mais c est ma manie d avoir des petits bonhommes partout).

Yves.

PS: je note que tu reste rouge meme pour le vin ;-)

clio (23003) 2009-09-15 13:36

Salut Sherlok (non, j'arrête!) donc salut Jean Yves,
Je suis d'accord avec toi, il y a d'excellents producteurs certainement moins chers autour, même si cela devient difficile de s'acheter une bouteille. (Evidemment, c'est à cause des Suisses qui font monter les prix!!!)
Mais, personnellement, c'est le Meursault blanc que je préfère!
Cela ne m'empêche pas de rester rêveuse devant ces perspectives de fûts... j'imagine l'odeur...
Excellente gestion de la lumière, very well done Mister!
Diane

coco (28054) 2009-09-15 14:22

Hi Jean Yves.

The place is very nice and the light is nice but at the same time to soft.
Also I like your composition and the way you managed the light.

Regards.
