Essay on Lotus Shooting

Photography is one of my hobbies. Every summer, June and July are the time when lotus flowers bloom. I take pictures every year and always want to take some new ideas. The best place to shoot lotus flowers in Beijing must be Lianhuachi Park, where there are many varieties of lotus flowers. Whenever the lotus is in full bloom in summer, it brings visitors the grand scene of "infinite lotus leaves and different colors of lotus". There are red lotus, space lotus 15000 square meters, more than 300 varieties of lotus, and more than 0/0000 pots of potted lotus. Potted lotus flowers in the park are easy to shoot, especially for lenses with insufficient focal length. You can walk to the front. If the angle is not good, you can turn the flowerpot appropriately to get the best shooting angle.

In Lianhuachi Park, there are many lotus flowers in five areas, but the flowers in the lotus pond can't be reached without a telephoto lens. There are also many potted lotus flowers coming in from the east gate. If you come early, because of the shelter of the building, the sun can't shine on the lotus, which is not the best shooting location. Walk along the sidewalk on the right to the middle. There are many lotus flowers and water lilies in this area, and the light will shine here earlier, which is also a good shooting location. Walking to the west gate is the most concentrated area of lotus flowers and the place that attracts the most photographers. There are also experienced teachers who take students and enthusiasts to explain shooting. Photographers are equipped with long guns, short guns, tripods and reflectors. And this is also the best place to produce works.

Photography is the art of light and shadow, especially taking pictures of flowers. Only by using light well can we shoot satisfactory works. I prefer to shoot against the light, shooting the texture of light passing through petals. Shooting requires inspiration, opportunity and creativity. I have an award-winning work in Beijing Photography Forum, which is also a lotus flower. Because it rained the day before and there was still water on the ground when I came to shoot the next day, I aimed the camera at the lotus. Put the red sun reflected in the water on the lotus, and a beautiful picture of "lotus reflected in the sun" was born. I am very excited. Continuous shooting took some pictures to make sure everything was safe. Take the first bus out every time you shoot. In order not to miss the best light, flowers and other lenses are like this. It is difficult to shoot good works when traveling with a group, because the light in many time periods is not suitable for creation. It's much better to be with the camera crew. It will arrive at the best shooting location at the best shooting time, and the weather and location are already available. The rest depends on your photography skills, and of course there will be some post-production. When you are enjoying a wonderful photographic work, don't forget the hard work of the photographer.

? This year is the season to shoot lotus flowers again. When I have time, I will still take my camera to Lianhuachi Park. No matter what the weather is like, I will shoot it as an exercise and look forward to shooting better works.
