This is Part II of the trees where I took a few photos back in 2007 and 2008 at the BIB show. Boon has a fabulous bonsai club and he and his members have a number of very fine bonsai. I would highly recommend you attend their show this January 19-20, 2013. You can learn more about the show by visiting this page. And see their exhibit photos here.
We hope you enjoy the trees as much as we did seeing them in person and having the opportunity to photograph them. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Our Favorite American Bonsai Trees – Part II
One of the finest trees that I have had the opportunity to see in person. It was an honor to photograph this tree as it won a major American award. Everything about this tree to me is perfect – the styling, the ramification, the wiring, the bark, the trunk movement, the nebari – I think just everything!

Sam and KJ are spoiling us this Christmas 🙂
Great trees on the west coast ! Very nice.
Sam, Just came across your site Bonsai Photography. Do you have any plans for further tutorials or techniques.
Hi Nick,
That would be a great post. Let me give it some thought. Did you see the posts on shooting suiseki?
Sam
Yes I sure have more than once. Just using a light box has made a huge difference to the final photo. Did you do all the BIB photos in a box as well or shoot as displayed and layer in the background in photoshop?
