Pink Sakura @ The Imperial Palace…

Whilst making our way from Ginza towards the nearby Imperial Palace grounds we came across the lovely area of delicate pink sakura.
Pink & Green
NIKON D750 + 28.0-300.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 160 mm, 1/200 sec at f/8, ISO 100
It was an ideal opportunity to take a few nice family photos standing below the outstretched arms of these cherry blossoms. Long rows of trees with delicate pink flowers receding into the distance.
Pink Snow
NIKON D750 + 28.0-300.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 300 mm, 1/320 sec at f/6.3, ISO 125
It was a chance to utilise the longer end of my trusty walkaround lens. Shooting wide open at 300mm lets me nicely blur the background for a smoother pink bokeh.
I’m really enjoying the freedom and flexibility of the Nikon’s 28-300mm lens. Having just the one camera and one lens whilst travelling is a real pleasure. It’s a compromise but the quality is really quite surprising. Sure it’s not as good as the 24-70/2.8 and 70-200/2.8 and 300/4 combo. However it’s not going to kill me walking around all day either 🙂
Sakura Fall
NIKON D750 + 28.0-300.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 300 mm, 1/320 sec at f/7.1, ISO 110
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
