Teratai, Lotus Flowers


It started to rain when I found my only lifer (Purple Heron) during Maulidul Rasul Holiday. I have to take shelter at 'pondok' (hut) at Taman Rekreasi Raub (Recreation Garden). This is what I got while waiting for rain to stop. All with 400mm telephoto.

Just another 8 weeks and we will start getting our water lillies! I can't wait.

I didn't answer your question from my Rockport post. I did not use a polarizer. I had the sun to my back and took advantabe of the natural polarizing effect.

Beautiful lotus flowers! I like the bright colors and sharp focus of your photos. Btw, your first comment link is up on my blog. Thank you, Redzlan :).

A perfect Lotus bud, flower and rupening seed pods. Nice work.

Lovely lotus. I had those once, but they withered and died. I might try them again soon.

Salam Doc,

These images are really gorgeous. Beautiful colors of those fragile petals shot in perfect focus and depth. Have a great week ahead.

I love these lotus photos!! The colours are so vivid, and the quality of the images so good!!
I have looked at all the bird photos, too, as that is your main interest, but all I can say is they are pretty, and I have never heard of any of them.
