Photographers work tirelessly to follow the footsteps of the four seasons, using images to frame the selfless gifts of nature. The arrival of summer, it is a good time to enjoy the lotus, the lotus flowers in the ponds and lakes around the country bloom to the fullest, looking around, a piece of "the lotus leaves are infinitely blue, the lotus flowers are different from the sun" beautiful scenery, attracting countless tourists and photographers to revel in it.
For the shooting ideas and techniques of using images to express lotus flowers and lotus pond landscapes, most photographers must have already mastered shooting through various learning channels and a large number of practices. However, with the "lotus flowers set up a stage, economic singing" has become a common economic development goal in many places, the new atmosphere of the "lotus industry" has also become an important direction for the lotus shooting. Therefore, photographers should not only linger in the beautiful scenery of Lotus Pond, but may wish to record the people and things in it with a sense of truth and truth in the long-term shooting across regions and time, and overcome various problems encountered in shooting. In this way, the photographer's understanding of the image can be deeper, and the photographic vision will be wider. - Editor

Wufu Lotus Pond Ding Zuhe photo
In the summer, the weather is fine, and a group of 5 of us drove from Sanming, Fujian Province, to Wuyishan Wufu Town to shoot the wind. Arriving in the evening of the same day, we stayed in the ancient town homestay and took a dip in Wufu Old Street together after dinner. At night, the lights of the ancient town are dim, and the deep streets and long lanes with winding paths are next to each other, continuing the richness and prosperity of the ancient town for thousands of years.
Listen to the locals, in order to revitalize the rural economy, Wufu Town combined the tourism advantages of Wuyi Mountain with the Zhuzi culture and the development of the local ecological environment, adopted preferential policies, and vigorously supported and encouraged farmers to plant lotuses. Through the construction of several "Lotus Festival" platforms, the local government has further carried forward the characteristic culture of Wufu such as Zhuzi culture, lotus culture, folk culture, gastronomic culture, farming culture, etc., and also provided strong support for the new era civilization practice activities in Wufu Town, the brand construction of "Wuyi Shanshui", the construction of pastoral complex projects, and the pilot work of "ecological bank". Therefore, that night, we went to bed early, recharged our batteries, and prepared to take pictures of the scenery of The Lotus Pond in Wufu Town the next day.
Lotus Pond Pastoral Song Ding Zuhe photo
The next morning, I deliberately got up early in the morning, took the camera equipment, and went to the lotus pond in Wufu Town. At this time, the sky gradually brightened, the morning light was slightly dewy, the sunlight shone through the clouds to illuminate the earth, and a large number of lotus lotus leaves clearly came into view, and looking up, the lotus pond covering hundreds of acres was very spectacular. I quickly set up the camera, adjusted the camera parameters, and recorded the beautiful scenery from all angles. While I was having fun, I met a local farmer who was herding cattle. The scene of this man in harmony with nature was naturally frozen by me.
After the shooting, I took a short break by the lotus pond, looked at the beautiful scenery in front of me, and felt a lot of emotions: as a photographer, in recent years, I have taken a lot of photos of humanistic and landscape themes, and I enjoy the process of photography, and I enjoy the happiness brought by photography.

In the past, when talking about Baiyangdian, the first thing that came to people's minds was the anti-Japanese story in the movie "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and "Wild Goose Plume Team". In today's Baiyangdian, you hear the sound of the rise of Xiong'an New Area, and see the beautiful picture of baiyangdian lotus grand view garden.

The Lotus Grand View Garden is indeed worthy of its name, and on the surface of more than a thousand acres of water, the lotus leaves sway in the wind, which is spectacular.
Morning Lotus Grand View Garden Photo by Jiang Xingbo
There are 3 options for the route to visit the Lotus Grand View Garden, and in order to facilitate the shooting, we chose to walk the Lotus Garden Boardwalk. I use the 29 trestles and arch bridges in the water as a commanding height, and look around, all kinds of pedal boats, painting boats, cruise ships, fishing boats cruising in the lotus pond, the water from time to time floating with the joy and laughter of tourists, and flocks of black swans trailing. Against the backdrop of lotus flowers, the Grand View Garden is like a fairyland, and I suddenly feel that there are scenes all around me.
We frequently raise our cameras for exciting stories, and we don't want to miss every moment. Under the aerial aerial aerial view, the Grand View Garden is in the shape of a golden dollar treasure, with clear water and blue sky, green and red leaves, trestles, arch bridges, pontoon bridges, erotic bridges, etc. are like dragons, full of shape. Close-up photography of the lotus garden can better reflect the details and set off the artistic conception of ink painting. After more than 3 hours of boardwalking, we stepped into the gate of the Lotus Boutique Park. The garden brings together nearly 700 species of Chinese and foreign precious lotuses, most of which are cultivated in potted plants, some are raised in ponds, and each plant has a special introduction. There are giant plants, pocket plants, etc., the flower shape has single petals, heavy petals, multiple petals, and the flower colors are red, yellow, white, pink, blue, and there are thousands of forms, and the same garden is charming, which is intoxicating. What is rare is that here, you can get close to the lotus flowers, observe and photograph the lotus flowers from multiple angles, and find the feeling of shadowing the heart. Photographers can use multiple exposure techniques to photograph lotus flowers and residual lotuses, and use time-lapse photography to record panoramic views of the park and happy times for flower admirers.

The black lotus flowers bloom, leaving many surprises for photographers. A little lotus leaf stretched out a small hand, holding up a smiley face, dewdrops moistened the smiley face smooth and delicate, before you can turn back, the lotus bud has protruded its head. At this time, more than 270 lotus varieties in the 10,000 acres of lotus pond competed to open, making this place a paradise. "Paint the boat into the depths of the flowers, fragrant and golden." Rafting in the lotus field, the fragrance is fragrant and intoxicating. The boats on the surface of the water stir up ripples, breaking through the blue sky, white clouds and distant mountains in the water, causing the fish and shrimp in the water to jump happily. Walking through the Lotus Avenue, the lotus flowers and blue water are long in the sky, and even the air is scattered with a faint lotus fragrance.
After a night of misty rain, in the early morning, the lotus buds opened, and the dragonflies could no longer find the pointy foothold. The lotus pond is lined with lotus flowers. From another point of view, the village not far away looks like a legendary fairyland on earth. Through the grass by the lake, the lotus flowers look different.
In the Puer Black Line, "long guns and short guns" and drones are sharp weapons that will bring you different harvests. Walking on the edge of the black lotus pond, the lotus flower attracts not only the camera, but also your body and mind will be tempted by it. It is a kind of spiritual washing that purifies your body and mind. (Text/Liang Yan)

One day last summer, I was carrying my camera and strolling along the path of Chengkan Village. A large lotus pond surrounds the Huipai houses in the village, and green and gray-white pave this quiet ancient village, creating a cool and quiet mood in summer. The emerald green lotus leaves in the lotus pond seem to be a large umbrella to shade the fish in the pond from the sun. The lotus flower has a more subtle beauty, its color from light to dark, from white to red, like a shy little girl when the buds want to bloom, slow to show their true faces. When the time is ripe and it stretches out its body, people can see it. Lotus leaves set off lotus flowers, creating a beautiful lotus pond landscape, a breeze blows, lotus leaves and lotus flowers gently swing up, far away, really like a moving painting, the foreground of the painting is an endless field, like a peach garden.
This beautiful picture of the lotus pond scenery is forever imprinted in my mind, and every time I think about it, the corners of my mouth will smile. It is a blessing for photographers to be able to record this beautiful moment with a camera, and the memories come to mind with the images, inspiring me to continue on the road of photography.

Aerial photo of Guihu Lotus Garden Zhuang Yongjin
Guihu Park, which has the reputation of "the first lake of Tianfu", is located in Xindu District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, 16 kilometers away from Chengdu, and is a famous Sui and Tang Dynasty garden relics in western Sichuan, as well as a national key cultural relics protection unit and a national 4A-level scenic spot. It was founded in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, famous for osmanthus flowers and lotus flowers, and is one of the "eight major lotus viewing resorts in the country" and "five major scenic spots". Gui Lake covers an area of more than 70 acres, with a total of more than 20 pavilions, and its beauty is like the couplet on the gate of Gui Lake: Gui Rui is fragrant and beautiful, and the lake light has changed the world.
As early as the Two Han Dynasties, Xindu planted lotuses into a wind, and has a history of more than a thousand years. The Tang Dynasty poet Zhang said that the verse "Lianzhou Wenshi Causeway" records the planting of lotus flowers in Guihu in the Tang Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty emperor Yang Shen (字用修, 号升庵) planted lotus flowers all over the lake, and since then the lotus flowers of Gui Lake have spread throughout the world. There are hundreds of varieties of lotus flowers in Guihu Lake, especially the red lotus in Guihu Lake, which is the best in lotus, and the flowers are colorful and unique to the new capital. "Red lotus is a thousand autumn flowers, golden laurel is full of miles of incense", which shows the unique charm of this place to the fullest.
I released the drone from the air to overlook, the lake is green and lotus into the sea, the scent is delicate, the gust of wind blows, and the fragrance of lotus is overflowing. Swimming fish smell the fragrance and jump into the water as a courtesy. The height of the lotus leaves in the lake varies from near to far, with undulating dynamic beauty. The willow embankment in the lake is even more between shade and blocking, light and dark, virtual and real, and depression and Yang, which makes the layers of Guizhou Lake more abundant, so that the picture has the expressive power of garden in garden, scenery in scenery, and step-by-step scenery. The shore of the lake is distributed with a variety of exquisite and unique small scenes such as Xiaojinjiang, Hangqiu, Guxiangting, Sheng'an Ancestral Hall, etc., all of which show the classical temperament and heavy culture. Here, the babbling water, pavilions, willow trees that move with the wind and the blue sky and white clouds naturally and harmoniously integrate into one, forming a vibrant classical garden picture, showing the beauty and elegance of the new capital of "Xiangcheng".
The beauty of the lotus world in Guihu Lake, this beauty not only comes from the fragrance and pure beauty of the lotus, but also from the beauty of the soul injected into the culture of the Sheng'an family, which makes it have a rare aura, literary atmosphere and bottom gas in the Chengdu Plain, which makes people feel endlessly evocative.

The lotus flowers of Jiuhua Mountain were introduced in 2016. Under the sun, these 100 acres of lotus flowers are delicate and growing happily, which not only brings a gust of fresh wind to the early summer, but also brings new development hope to Jiuhua Mountain. Lotus flowers are planted on a large scale in SongCun, Daicun, Shuangqiao Village and other places, forming the "Ten Mile Lotus Pond Sightseeing Belt" extending according to Foguang Avenue.

Xishi hometown scenic spot lotus pond Huang Zhenzhong photo
"Xi Shi Yue Xi Woman, from The Ramadan Mountain." The beauty hides the ancient world, and the lotus flowers are ashamed of their faces. "The poetry immortal Li Bai's "Wing Rama LuoShan" is full of Xi Shi's unique beauty and home and country feelings. I followed Li Bai's poetry road, rushed to the Xishi Hometown Scenic Area in Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province, to see the famous Shu of Thousands of Autumns, admire the Ten Mile Lotus Pond, and encounter a lotus feast.
Qingfeng Ping Li Sai Wonderland, Bishui HuanSha Pregnant Xi Shi. On the banks of the Huansha River and under the Ramadan Mountain, the story of Xi Shi, which has been passed down for more than 2,400 years, has been left behind. This history of "beautiful colors covering the ancient and modern" has injected cultural connotations into Zhuji, an ecological city with harmonious landscapes and rivers, after thousands of years of precipitation.
In the middle of summer, the lotus flowers are brilliant and the lotuses are full of lotuses. After the destruction of Wu, Xi Shi accompanied Fan Li on a boat trip to the Five Lakes, and the world did not know the end. Through the ages, the beautiful legend has gone away, leaving a pool of lotus flowers. You will find her beauty swaying between the small bridges and the flowing water, filled with the wind of ancient Vietnamese relics.
In the summer, the lotus flowers are born, and it is time to enjoy the lotus. In the 100 acres of lotus ponds, the turquoise stretching lotus leaves and the pavilion lotus flowers sway in the breeze, exuding a light and elegant temperament, which is simply beautiful. Friends who love photography can bring a telephoto lens to capture the interaction between birds and insects and lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the lotus pond, and can also capture the dynamic moments of tourists who enjoy the Lotus, and can also use the perspective of aerial photography of drones to open a one-click panorama function, and include 100 acres of lotus ponds in the lens, so that the picture is more shocking.
Pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, fresh breeze, full of lotus fragrance, the beauty of the lotus pond in Xi Shi's hometown is intoxicating. (Text/Huang Zhenzhong)
