I took a short video of the Exhibition trees. Not the best quality video with my phone.
Enjoy.

Also found stored on my phone video of took of the 2017 Vietnamese bonsai show as well. Good seeing how some trees change in a year.

Thank you very much - I've seen very little from the Viet community. There sometimes seems be a freer sense of design and dynamics that I very much enjoy.

At the risk of sounding picky (what? a bonsai grower being picky?) would be possible to take still shots next year? It helps me to concentrate on the trees more easily.

Once again, many thanks.

I've seen stills of this exhibition on farcebook, and I agree, it's much easier to view the trees in that format. I just can't concentrate when videos are moving around so much, my tired eyes just won't focus.

Shrua Khouri posted two lots of photos in the facebook page Bonsai Australia - this is one of them

Thanks David. Highlights for me are the cascade at 1.33 and the semi-cascade Literati at 3.33 and .... in a very kitsch sort of way .... the little clay dudes holding numerous good Shohin sized trees throughout the whole video; not something I would use but it made me smile nonetheless and surely that’s a good thing. Yes, photos are easier but this was good to see. Cheers, Mark [THUMBS UP SIGN]
