Description
Beautiful Wisteria blooming on a Spring day. The image was taken with a 50mm 1.8 for a shallow depth of field which blurrs out the background and creates a beautiful bokeh. I then added a high key effect and a texture so the image has an elegant look.
Wisteria vines climb by twining their stems either clockwise or counterclockwise round any available support. They can climb as high as 20 m above the ground and spread out 10 m laterally. The world's largest known Wisteria vine is in Sierra Madre, California, measuring more than 1 acre (0.40 ha) in size and weighing 250 tons, planted in 1894 of the Chinese lavender variety.
