I also like the graceful lotus flowers very much. Here I will talk about some of my shooting ideas, hoping to be helpful to novice friends.
I think we can find entry points from the different artistic conceptions of lotus flowers and shoot with this idea.

What is youthful beauty? The 16-year-old flower season is youthful and beautiful. Compared with lotus flowers, those small lotus flowers are pointed and ready to bloom. They are green and beautiful.
The flower bones that have not yet fully opened are very cute, just like the girl next door, full of youthful vitality.
When taking pictures of flowers, you should also choose different backgrounds to set off the flowers. You can choose lotus pond as the background, lotus leaves as the background, or other blooming flowers as the background.

To take such a beautiful picture, it is natural to choose those bright and beautiful flowers in the lotus pond. Search and search to find the most beautiful protagonist in the lotus pond. Be it color, posture or artistic conception, there must always be one thing that works well.
: Hazy beauty
When shooting any flowers, relatively speaking, freehand brushwork is more artistic than realism. In other words, when we shoot lotus flowers, we should not just stop at what we see and take. Only by adding some freehand techniques can the appeal of art be enhanced.
Hazing and blurring are the most direct and effective ways to improve artistry.
hazy, mainly refers to the blurring of the background and foreground. The blurring of the background can make the subject more prominent, and the blurring of the foreground can enhance the level and appeal of the picture.
Some novices think that the lotus photos they take are ordinary, so they can put some effort into this aspect. Especially good use of the foreground can enhance the high-end sense of the picture.
Sometimes, haziness can give people more room for imagination and give people a more thought-provoking feeling than clearness.
So when shooting lotus flowers, you can look for some lotus leaves and lotus flowers in front of the camera as a cover, and blur them into green and pink color blocks. Such a picture is very eye-catching.

The blooming of flowers is a kind of enthusiasm, and the falling of flowers is also a kind of poetry. Therefore, photographing the incomplete beauty of lotus flowers also has a unique artistic conception.
We can take pictures of lotus flowers that have lost a few petals, or we can take pictures of lotus flowers that have fallen on lotus leaves. As long as you are good at discovering, every flower in the entire lotus pond is in a different state. Only by opening your photographic eye can you take pictures with artistic conception.
