Spring Tree Blossoms - Greensboro


The trees in the Triad are just now starting to bloom.  The ornamental prune tree was great one to photograph the blossoms close up about 2 weeks ago.  A week ago the right image, a Bradford pear were in full bloom.   The latter do not smell good when they first push forth their blooms. You can see the difference between a sunny day and a cloudy day.  The plum taken with iPhone 5C, Camera+ app.  The Bradford pear I took this with the iPhone 6, Camera + app -- macro mode. Used PSE 11 for post processing.  Increased contrast, highlights, midtones, and sharpened.  Used square mode to shot or Bradford pear in case I wanted to post the images to Instagram. The ornamental prune wanted to try a vertical image which I sometimes foreget to try.   Hope to get some crab apple blossoms with a Carolina blue sky soon.  There is also an osage orange in the neighborhood.
