Took a little break on photography, but it’s always fun to do the annual visit to the SF Botanical Garden to see the Pink Magnolias in late January/February. I’ve been going almost every year for about ~20 years now to take photos of these amazing flowers. They are various types of Magnolia, but many are the Magnolia Campbelli variety. For me, I’ve always loved how the sunlight against the blossoms lights them like lanterns, the bright blue skies, and the branches that almost make it look like a woodblock painting. This visit, I played with this lighting, and also some framing of these blooms in amongst the branches. Let me know what you think!
