Cherry Blossoms 2

Cherry Blossoms 2, April 9, 2009
Adobe Systems courtyard, Seattle, Washington
Nikon D70, Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 @ 150mm, f/4.0, 1/2500s, ISO 200
Developed in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.3, Adobe Standard profile

I grabbed this shot while testing the Nikkor 70-200 that I rented for a vacation in the next week. Even on the older D70 body I'm very impressed at the sharpness, color, and resolution of the lens. Wow.

I don't think I'm fully finished developing this photo, nor the prior cherry blossoms one. (Too much saturation there. I might try some of Angela Drury's tricks from Photoshop User mag on tweaking the camera calibration for subtler effects.) But I'm very happy to have gotten some snaps of the sakura this year. They've been very, very pretty in Seattle the past few weeks.

Nice shot Tim! I think the Camera Calibration controls could work well with this image. But, it's beautiful as it is now.
