They say that the moment of immersing oneself in nature, inhaling the scent of grass and trees and enjoying watching the flowers bloom
blooming, suddenly evokes happiness and positive emotions in them. Therefore, when spring comes, they go against the road, against the street to enjoy the beautiful pink color of the bell-shaped peach blossoms. When summer comes, they immerse themselves in the intoxication of yellow, purple and cool, lim xet...
1. It is not too much to say that Son Tra is beautiful in every season, the most beautiful is when the carpets of flowers are budding and blooming with their own colors. That is the brilliant yellow color, brightening up a part of the sky of the flowers or the purple-pink, purple-blue, light purple of the flowers. Therefore, to capture the moment when the sky and earth embrace the mountains and hills through the colors of the flowers, photographer Nguyen Trinh ( Da Nang ) is alone, working tirelessly morning and evening on the roads in Son Tra.
Photographer Nguyen Trinh expressed that although he is quite busy with work, because of his great passion for flowers, on weekends he roams all over the forests in Son Tra to take pictures of flowers, trees or capture the moment of the red-shanked douc langur. In total, he has been "hunting" for flower photos for four years with a collection of more than 1,000 photos. Besides his passion, what keeps him coming back to flowers and forests is to relieve pressure. Not only that, he has the opportunity to exchange and learn from people who share the same passion.
According to him, the flowers of the Than Mat and Lim Xet begin to bloom from April to May. Each flower has its own beauty. If the Than Mat is purple and melancholy, the Lim Xet makes viewers happy and joyful. To make his photo hunt successful, he usually prioritizes early morning from 5-7am. This is the time when the sun is still light, the wind is still gentle, and the dew is still hovering over the leaves and flowers. In addition to flowers, if you want to capture the moment of the primate langur happily eating leaves and seeds, you have to rely on luck. “I can take photos of a variety of genres, from people, landscapes to festivals… With flowers, it’s different because I’m not just taking photos to save them, but I’m enjoying the beautiful moments of nature. To take photos of other genres, I can arrange and customize them more or less, but not with flowers. Because the beauty and strangeness of flowers is that they happen naturally and in the most harmonious way. Only then will the resulting photo have soul, create real emotions, and the viewer can feel and live the moment with the photographer when taking the photo. I think that’s what makes the photo successful,” he said.
2. For photographer Pham Phung (Da Nang), every time he goes to Son Tra or Ba Na - Nui Chua peak, he feels himself separated from everyday life. Because of the peaceful scenery, fresh air and attractive flowers. Moreover, taking pictures of flowers also helps him relax, to contemplate, to think, to slow down a bit. He said that among the flowers, he likes taking pictures of bell-shaped peach blossoms on Ba Na - Nui Chua peak the most in late winter, early spring, around January and February.
To take photos of flowers, he prepared for a whole week, but there were times when he woke up in the morning and saw beautiful weather, and had a feeling that the flowers would be in full bloom that day, so he and his camera continued their journey. He still remembers clearly that he had to go up and down Ba Na - Nui Chua peak dozens of times just to take a satisfactory photo. It was difficult and tiring, but when he finished the photo, he was happy and grateful to have captured that moment. “I don’t set a specific time to take the photo because it depends on inspiration and time, it could be early morning or afternoon or evening. This is when the light is pleasant, the dew still lingers on the petals, creating a very unique shimmering, mysterious beauty. Afternoon and evening are also beautiful, but the light is often harsher and the weather can change easily. When taking photos of flowers, natural light is a very decisive factor in the quality of the photo, the color and the emotions you want to convey,” he confided.
Like photographer Nguyen Trinh, photographer Pham Phung believes that not only bell-shaped peaches, cool flowers or lim xet, the beauty of wild flowers is the beauty of wildness, not staged, not artificial, very real and also very unpredictable. Compared to landscape or portrait photography, hunting for flower photos requires patience, observation and luck. Because each photo will have its own uniqueness.
3. For a long time, the flowers of Than Mat, Lim Xet or Dao Bell have not only been a source of inspiration for photographers but also captivated the hearts of many tourists from near and far. Mr. Tran Ngoc Hieu (35 years old, Hanoi) shared that he is a flower lover. Therefore, he always takes time during the holidays to travel , especially wandering to mountainous and hilly areas such as Cao Bang, Dien Bien, Da Lat and Da Nang to immerse himself in the natural scenery with cotton flowers, Ban flowers, wild sunflowers or Lim Xet, Than Mat, Dao Bell... He expressed that although his work is somewhat busy, he still arranges to go to Da Nang during the time when Lim Xet or Than Mat flowers bloom white on the hillsides. He has been away from Da Nang for more than two weeks, but in him the moment of wandering to Son Tra forest in the early morning or late afternoon to see the flowers is still clearly visible as if it were yesterday. Every year when he comes to Da Nang, he feels that the flower season changes each year, its beauty increasing exponentially. For him, this year, the lim xet is more beautiful and splendid than last year.
“I also love bell-shaped peach blossoms. However, the time is not convenient to go to Da Nang in late winter, early spring, but with the cool and cool air, I have many opportunities to admire them. I did not go alone but with a group of friends who share the same passion. Every year, being able to go and immerse myself in the peaceful nature makes my friends and I more connected, refresh ourselves, and balance our emotions. I think that youth will not be meaningless when we keep beautiful memories with trips to see flowers and forests,” Mr. Hieu happily said.
Sharing the same hobby as Mr. Hieu, Ms. Le Nguyen Hoang Anh (30 years old, Da Nang) also has an endless passion for solo trips in the forests and capturing memorable moments with photos of flowers using a film camera. This helps her experience many emotions, go slower and enjoy different colors of life.
