I have zero concern for statute law, especially when it comes to me holding a camera on someone's private property. I am a plant lover so I walk with care, I make friends with the sheep, and I never leave my cigarette butts laying on the ground. I am absolutely the best trespasser these people are going to get.
So props to Alexander Valley Wines, for allowing me to roam wild thru millions of dollars worth of assets, because they can't stop me.

Look like the vineyards I recently walked through in Spain. Except a lot more rocks in Spanish vineyards.
Wow, what a difference from a cali vineyard. Those vines seem so tiny, or those rocks are huge. Thanks for sharing :)
They had some very old heavy vines also. These are probably younger. I just thought the rocks were unusual. Probably to keep the equipment out of the mud in the wet fields.

super sharpness
Thanks, I am really loving these zenza lenses. I had no idea they were so sharp.
Nice shot.
Couldn't they simply call the cops if they really wanted you out of their property?
Yes. But how many times? Plus it's the entrance to their tasting room so that's gotta be bad for business. However an image of a Sonoma County Sheriff next to these vines is worth my next roll of film.
Nice photo, great perspective! Wich wine they produce there?
I live in Italy and we have vineyards all over the place and nobody will ever call the cops because someone walks into the vineyard as long as you don't steal or damage the plants and the trees.
Maybe the laws are much more restrictive in the U.S.
For example if you are a hunter (and I'm not, I hate hunting) here you have the RIGHT to pass through ANY field you want to chase the animals. Crazy right?
Wow, I didn't know that about Italy. That is crazy. Here in the US property owners have guns and dogs and sometimes traps (cannabis farms), you take your chances roaming around here. Except for the wineries, they can't do anything because of tourists and I take full advantage of it.
Good shot, keep it up. I think it could also look very impressive in B&W.
Thanks! I have not played around with any editing yet, these are just the scans the lab sends me with my processed film. 72 dpi scans. Speaking of black and white, I need a green 62mm filter before I invest too much time in shooting my acros. Do you guys use any dedicated filters?
Like your picture!
Thanks!
