April sees the peak of cherry blooming and for the first time I've been able to be in the right place at the right moment. Blooming cherry trees are a sort of explosion of white, striking your eyes in any light condition: overcast, in full sun light, in the warm light of late afternoon, with backlight.

I spent some time shooting trees in their whole shape, in portions and then using a long tele to isolate details of flowers on a branch.

Even in a dull light cherry trees at the peak of the blooming are a striking subject, with their bright and compact white contrasting with the surrounding dark foliage of other plants.
