Photograph DescriptionEvery Spring I marvel at the 70 year old Weeping Cherry Trees that bloom at the foot of our driveway. This year I climbed a ladder, cut a branch heavy with flowers and photographed the branch on a Lightbox (constructed with a 2'x2' raised wooden garden bed on a floor of LED lights and covered by a sheet of white plexiglass. I arranged the branch and blossoms on the lightbox and took many photos until finding one that I liked. Then using Photoshop I added layers of texture and color, along with a filter to create the illusion of movement through motion blur. Camera: Sony ICLE-7m2 set at ISO 100, 37 mm focal length with a kit lens, f/6.3, 1/25 sec.
