Cherry Plum Blossom

[Just Dave]

Hi

Had a walk out with my friend John, whom Ive not been out with for 5 months, I wanted to take some Blossom/bud shots, so went to our favourite place, heres a shot of Cherry Plum Blossom, it took my a while to find the right Blossoms with a good background that I had imagined I wanted, I think I found what I was looking for, What do you think, C+C welcome

Very nice Dave the focus is spot on and the DoF is just what I would want from this shot it's funny but I did some cherry blossom for my POTD with my broken 50mm but ended up doing a re-shoot the following day as I really wasn't happy with the result

Very nice Dave, love the DoF.

Macro is something i haven't done but must admit i do like the results people get, might have to put it on my to do list.

I prefer this one from the two of them.

I was snapping at some flowers myself over the weekend, been trying to id them on here.
One of them I'm sure is a Prunus Spinosa aka Sloe/ Blackthorne, but it looks very similar to your Cherry Plum, I guess because they're both part of the Prunus family. I think I'll be investing in a little flower book for my kit bag, flower names are not my strong point!!

Thanks Neil

They do look similar, I was going to ID yours as Blackthorn, but it had been suggested, I know mines Cherry Plum as I go every year to gather the fruit yummy, we have a long row of trees and they prude masses of fruit, for jam making, and pies
