Frankonian Vineyards



Our friends took us on a tour of the region surrounding Wurzburg. We stopped in Marktbreit, Kitzingen, and Sulzfeld. Sulzfeld is known for its meterbratwurst...yes, that is bratwurst served as half a meter or a whole meter.

To end the tour, we parked the car for a walk over a hill and through the vineyards to Schloss Hallburg. We barely beat a storm to the castle. Although the rain prevented us from enjoying the beautiful outdoor beer garden overlooking the vineyards and accompanying live music, we thoroughly enjoyed the walk. The vineyards were beautiful with the storm rolling in over the hills.

Lightbox Results

My first few attempts with the lightbox met with some success and some trouble. I was pretty happy with the daisy picture, but I found the reflections on the wine bottle problematic. I used a desk lamp as a light source from above and forgot to correct the exposure accordingly. Maybe next time.

Cheap Lightbox Instructions

I've been thinking about building a cheap lightbox for macro photography for awhile. The instructions found at Strobist seem easy enough. Maybe I'll give it a try during the Cavs game. Go Cavs!
