I'm an avid gardener, and I have hundreds of trees, shrubs and perennials. But my Snowfountain Cherry tree is number one. Unfortunately, there's no real perfect shooting angle. It's in front of the house, so I can either shoot it with the bare trees across the street in the background or with the house in the background. This year I chose the former. So this is more about the tree than the photo. But It's a tree worth seeing. It produces literally thousands of blooms that extend nearly to the ground. (They would extend all the way to the ground save for the fact that the rabbits eat the branches:-). I've also included a tight shot of a bloom cluster. The tree was shot with the DA* 16-50 and flash fill, the branch ( a better shot) with the DA* 50-135. Love the bokeh that lens delivers. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7202288&size=lg http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7202289&size=lg
