Blue Lotus Water Garden
It seems it is 4 years since I last visited Blue Lotus Water Garden according to Google. It is a great place to go and photograph water lilies and lotus flowers. They have a great variety.
They are only open for a short period each year, around 3 to 4 months. I might have to see if I can make an effort to get there next season.
One thing I like about photographing them is that you don’t need anything special, just a long lens. I tend to take one that goes to 300mm, which gives me enough reach. You can’t get really close to them so having a lens that you can zoom in with really helps. Maybe next time I might even try taking my tripod. See if that makes it easier too.
I have often taken my macro lens, but I just don’t tend to use it there.
On a side note, I learned the other day that the name Kamala means lotus flower, pretty cool.
Do you love these sorts of flowers?
Bit late I know but these are all beautiful photographs. Water lilies are some of my favourite flowers and the white ones with the light coming through are just magical.
Thank you RJ. I love them too and agree.
Breathtaking, Leanne.
Thank you Sofia.
Beautiful waterlilies, and looking especially so in your distinctive style of photography 😀 They would grace any wall!
Thank you Sarah, that is really to hear.
Beautiful ethereal images.
Thank you Margaret.
Lotus flowers are beautiful to admire!! I love how they float on the surface of the water and underneath their roots are growing strong.
They really are beautiful, and I love the way you have described them, thank you Esther.
Thank you for your lovely comment!

These flowers are beautiful!!
Thank you Nora.
What a gallery!
Thank you Egidio.
Stunning photos, Leanne! Wow. ❤️🥰
Thank you so much John.
You didn’t take these with your macro lens? Well, that is surprising, and something I am going to try now. Thank you for the tip, Leanne.
No, no macro lens. Some of these were 2 to 3 metres away from me. Yeah, long lenses can be good for flowers too. Thank you Lois and you’re welcome.
yes, I love, love the water flowers. we don’t have as many varieties here as you’ve shown in your pics
That’s great to hear Beth, they are so amazing. I don’t know about varieties, but Blue Lotus Water Gardens is huge and there are flowers everywhere. Thank you Beth.
These are fabulous! I love water lilies/lotuses.
They are great flowers, thank you Sandy.
Welcome!

Splendid photography!! I love water lilies. I had a pond with them in it and they really are such beautiful flowers.
Thank you Sally. I’m jealous taht you had some of your own. I’ve thought about it, but I don’t think I have the space really. They are beautiful.
Beautiful.
Thank you.
