Cherry Blossom Photography with Riley Arthur

Photo and Video by Riley Arthur, A Platypod Pro
Words by Eryka Bagwell

Few things gather massive crowds in the way that the Cherry Blossom blooms do each spring. Riley Arthur (a Platypod Pro and video host) took a recent trip to Japan and captured these Sakura in all their glory. 

In this short (3 minute) video, Riley shares how traditional tripods just won't cut it when it comes to avoiding the large amount of spectators that come to pay homage to these beautiful blooms.

The Platypod rig is the perfect compact traveling tripod companion for an adventure like this. Especially helping to provide you with a perspective and capture those other spectators will never achieve.
