Feel the fantastic air of early morning lotus blooms and waterside at the Village of Ancient Lotus
Ancient Lotus Village is a beautiful spot where lotus flowers blooming in a quiet pond are a highlight. The early morning, when the lotus flowers are slowly blooming, is especially magical, and the reflection of the lotus flowers on the surface of the water in the clear air before the summer sun rises creates a mysterious atmosphere. The sight of the petals soaked with morning dew and receiving soft light is like something out of this world, and the combination of the spreading lotus flowers and the lush green background makes for a memorable photo. If your timing is right, you can also view the nearby rice field art from the observatory in the park, and enjoy the seasonal scenery along with the lotus flowers.
Key points for photography
The key to photographing lotus flowers is to aim for the early morning hours when they begin to bloom. In the morning, when the flowers are slowly opening, they look their most fresh and beautiful. Shooting with backlight will create a delicate and magical atmosphere as the petals shine through the light, and with forward light, you can capture the true color of the lotus. By changing the direction of the light, you can enjoy completely different impressions of the same flower.
