Peak Bloom of Cherry Blossom in Washington DC from 04/10/15 to 04/12/15. Finally got around to edit these photos. Really crowded with people from all over the world. Seen at least a thousand serious photographers with DSLRs and tripods lined up the edge around Tidal Basin at 5:30am to shoot the sunrise. The Cherry flowers around Tidal Basin were really spectacular. Hope to come back next year.
I did have to make few tough judgement calls about tones of the colors because they were really high contrast so I am sure there will be many difference opinion about them. However, trust me when I say these photos did not even come close to the actual magnificent scenes that I saw. Constructive criticisms are welcome.
All are very nice. My favorite is #7- the Washington Monument at dusk.
Thanks. I did met quite a few photographers out there and learn few things from them too. One of them is showing up before sunrise so you can take both night scene or dusk and sunrise shots...
