edited a photo today that I am quite satisfied with.

The first picture was taken at Xuanwu Lake around 10 a.m. the day before yesterday. It was a bit late when we arrived at the lake, and it was backlit; the lotus was several meters away from the lake. Double the focal length was not enough, so many of the pictures were enlarged. I took the photos at multiple times, without a tripod, and the handheld phone was not stable enough, so many of the photos were out of focus. This one is one of them.

Second picture: In order to save her, I used snapseed photo editing software to darken the photo and added my own seal and text.

The third picture: After I posted it to the group, a friend said that adding the moon would give me the moonlight over the lotus pond. I followed the group friend’s suggestion and added the moon taken on the 14th of this month.

took about dozens of photos of lotus flowers at Xuanwu Lake this time, but was not satisfied with many of them. The reason is the objective reasons mentioned in the description of the first photo, plus my own lack of skills. What

shares with you today is:

1—This season is the best time to take pictures of lotus flowers, so hurry up and take pictures.

No matter what your photography skills are, you will be able to take a few good-looking photos. The reason is that mobile phone cameras are very smart now. When the distance is right and the light is right, you will automatically take a few photos with clear colors and beautiful colors.

2—Lotus is a very photogenic flower. Her colors and shapes are in line with most people's aesthetics. The flowers are large, layered and have a graceful and graceful posture, which is very attractive. And her big round green lotus leaves are also very pleasing to the eye. Even the lotus pods that breed lotus seeds look cute. Some flowers are also beautiful, such as roses, tulips , roses ... They look good when photographed, but I think their posture seems a little inferior compared to lotus flowers.

3—The lotus in my picture is preferred. Whether it is in bud or fully bloomed, it is beautiful. It is in various shapes, emerging from the mud but not stained, clear and rippled but not demonic, straight in the middle and straight to the outside, not creeping or branching. The fragrance becomes clearer from a distance, and the pavilions and pavilions are clean and planted. You can look at them from a distance but don't play with them.

Don’t take pictures of the ones lying on the water, as shown below. I don’t know what species they are called. They all look the same, look dull, and don’t look very good when photographed. Personal opinion.

4—Be sure to choose the right time. Shoot before nine o'clock in the morning or after five or six o'clock in the afternoon. The light is projected obliquely, giving the photo a three-dimensional feel.

5—Of course, don’t forget the issues mentioned in my previous article.

6—Be safe. When standing by the pond, pay attention to your steps. Don't just take photos and forget about the pond under your feet. If you fall, you will be in trouble.
