Under the Lens: Spring and Bright Scenery | The small town where the Jacaranda trees bloom

The small town where the Jacaranda trees bloom. I always thought that only by going to Australia could I see the dreamy Jacaranda trees in full bloom, but actually, we have the same in our country, right in the next month, the Jacaranda trees in Xichang, Sichuan will bloom one after another, turning the whole city into shades of blue and purple. How to get there? There are direct high-speed trains from Chengdu to Xichang, it is recommended to either take the high-speed train or drive there. Where to see? Although there are many streets in Xichang with Jacaranda trees, the best spot is still 'Aerospace North Road', lock this place down. Although it's the most crowded, the trees here are the oldest, and when they bloom, the blue flowers cover the sky, as beautiful as a scene from an anime. The Jacaranda trees on other streets are also beautiful, but compared to Aerospace North Road, they are slightly less impressive. Do you need a ticket? No, the whole city is free. The cost of living in Xichang is not high, and there are also beautiful attractions like Qionghai Lake, Lingying Temple, and beaches to check in. 📷 Nikon z62, lens 24-120f4 Photography tips: With many people on the ground, you can squat and shoot upwards, focusing mainly on the canopy of the Jacaranda trees. Use a telephoto lens to make the Jacaranda trees appear denser and create the feeling of a Jacaranda tunnel. If possible, it is recommended to go at 5 pm, when the setting sun shines on the fluttering petals of the Jacaranda trees, and the passers-by, the scene is absolutely stunning. Post-processing tips: The main thing is to handle the purple of the Jacaranda trees well, to prevent the background and sky from turning purple like the flowers. A background and sky that lean towards cyan-green, contrasting with the purple of the flowers, looks very good. Increase the overall exposure a bit to make it bright and clean.
