Cherry Blossom Abstract
Cherry Blossom Abstract
This photo, from this year’s Annual Essex County Cherry Blossom Festival, is a personal favorite. I had in mind creating a composition that shows the influence of classic Japanese watercolors. The soft light and background blur mimics watercolor washes, anchored by a spare and elegant arrangement of cherry blossom blooms. Because blurring is an effect that only the lens can see, I used the lens as my eye, searching for pleasing compositions through my viewfinder. The sense of depth created by the background blur and the contrast between sharp and soft captured my attention in this frame. Camera: Canon Rebel XS, Canon 55-250mm EF-S IS lens.
