Cherry blossoms are a beautiful part of the Japanese spring season, marking the end of the colder winter months before it. In Toronto, we are blessed to have a variety of parks offering cherry blossoms to mark our own spring season. With full bloom lasting only for a few days it's almost become a ritual for Torontonians to flock our local parks to admire these enchanting flowers while we can.
One of the things I love about the sakura trees in Japan is that many of the parks light them up at night, offering a totally new way to see these beautiful blossoms. We don't light them here in Toronto so I decided to see what it would look like if we lit up some of the sakura trees here in Toronto.
To light up these trees, I used Nanlite's FC-120B and its V-Mount battery grip, which together formed the perfect portable light solution for this project.
I hope you like the outcome of this project as it was a lot more difficult to do than it looks. You can enjoy all the photos in the slideshow I have at the end as well.
If you have any questions on the FC-120B or the project itself, please feel free to comment below.
Thanks for watching!
