The photo series was made by photographer Dang Van Hai (living in Phu Cat, Binh Dinh). Traveling and capturing beautiful moments in each place she sets foot in is a long-time favorite of this 29-year-old photographer. In the picture, the apricot seaweed in Nhon Hai fishing village seen from above.
The 2021 apricot season photo brought many international awards to this photographer.
"To get beautiful photos, in addition to choosing the camera angle, you also have to monitor the tides and wind when the season is out. If you want a beautiful photo, you have to take it when the water is calm, the tide is low and there is especially no wind. Thus, the new seaweed is revealed a lot and the color of the seaweed can be clearly seen," he shared his experience.
Apricot seaweed often lives clinging to coral reefs and reefs. When a seaweed grows long, it overflows to the surface of the water. Many such trees create impressive golden seaweed beds right on the sea.
Apricot seaweed appears from May to July, creating a beautiful scene like a "golden field" under the clear blue sea. On the other hand, apricot seaweed is also a "seasonal" source of income for fishermen here.
Apricot seaweed is a natural gift for Quy Nhon. It is harvested for export or to make medicines and fertilizers. However, the overexploitation of apricots also adversely affects the reproduction of some aquatic species.
"I first photographed apricots in May 2021. If I have to comment, I see that time is more beautiful than this year. At that time, I was paddling SUP when I suddenly discovered a seaweed through a flycam device," he said.
Sharing with reporters, this photographer commented that dreaming is also beautiful on the outside, but the most beautiful is still admiring through photos. The wide camera angle of the new drone highlights a large area, filled with the golden color of the seaweed.
The most effective equipment for "hunting" is a drone to take wide-angle photos. If you like, you can use the action camera to dive to capture the coral reefs and underwater seaweed.
