Beijing finally waited for a day when it stopped raining. I took my new love: Sony A7R3 + Sigma 100-400mm Sony E-mount lens to Changping New City Binhe Forest Park to shoot lotus flowers.
Taken by Xiaomi mobile phone, Capa once said: The reason your pictures are not good enough is because you are not close enough.
I have said that one lens can rule the world, so keep your word. Mobile phones take wide-angle shots, Sony mirrorless telephoto shots. This park is next to Gonghuacheng subway station. It has a water system and white lotus flowers, which bloom at the end of June every year.
The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on it.
Not only can you take photos of lotus flowers here, but there are also many small animals, such as dragonflies, wild ducks, unknown birds...
Unknown birds? The lotus leaves can drag them up.
and the two dragonflies in the picture below don’t know what they are doing.
Sigma 400mm end shooting and cropping.
There is also the little dragonfly below. It seems that the 100400 lens of and Sigma is the right one. If you buy 70-200mm, the telephoto length is not enough.
And the red dragonfly in the picture below reminds me of the song Little Tigers.
It’s also interesting to take pictures of water drops on lotus leaves.

There are still water birds in this parkwaterbirds, but I was just looking at the flowers and didn't have the patience to sit on a stool and wait to capture the flying waterbirds.
I don’t know what this bird is called?
Sony A7R3 is not suitable for shooting birds in flight, and it is not easy to focus. Moreover, the focal length of the Sigma 100400 is still too short for shooting birds, and the birds will fly away if you get closer. I feel you need at least 600mm to shoot birds.
