Pretoria in South Africa is known as Jacaranda city and each year the city turns in a purple canvas when the trees bloom.Time
Taken around mid-morning on a fairly overcast day as couldn't make it during sunriseLighting
I wanted to try and create a kind of studio feel despite being outsideEquipment
Nikon D300 with Tamron 18-70 2.8Inspiration

I think I used slight saturation on the purpleIn my camera bag
Same as equipment usedFeedback
