Cherry Blossoms in 360°

For those who aren’t able to make it in person this year, here’s a 360° interactive video I shot early this morning at several spots around the Tidal Basin.

The cherry blossoms reached peak bloom on March 17, 2024. That's the second-earliest on record.

For those who aren’t able to make it in person this year, here’s a 360° interactive video I shot early this morning (March 26, 2016) at several spots around the Tidal Basin. It’s not quite like being there, admittedly, but at least the parking is easier. This was taken right around and just after sunrise, before the crowds really built up.

If you’re wondering, this was shot with a Ricoh Theta S camera, a nifty little camera that has two lenses that when combined shoots 360° panoramic still images, timelapse, and video. I’ve been using them for a while, and I’ll be posting an in-depth review of it soon on my main site.

So take it for a spin.
