Seaweed season is like an underwater field in Quy Nhon

Translated by Bing
From May 5 to 7, photographers again return to Hon Dry Island, in Nhon Hai fishing village (Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh) to "hunt for apricot seaweed".

The series was taken by photographer Dang Van Hai (living in Phu Cat, Binh Dinh). Traveling and capturing beautiful moments in each passing place has been a long-time favorite of the 29-year-old photographer. In the picture, apricot algae in Nhon Hai fishing village seen from above.


This photo of the 2021 apricot season brought many international awards for this photographer.


"To get good photos, in addition to choosing the camera angle, the timing of the season also has to monitor the tides and wind. If you want a good photo, you must take it when the water is calm, the tide is low and especially there is no wind. Thus, the new algae is exposed a lot and clearly sees the color of the seaweed," he shared his experience.


Apricot often lives clinging to coral reefs, reefs. When a tree is long, it overflows to the surface of the water. Many such trees create impressive golden seaweed beaches right on the sea.


Apricot algae appears from May 5 to 7, creating a beautiful scene like a "golden field" under the clear blue sea. On the other hand, apricot algae is also a source of "seasonal" income for fishermen here.


Apricot algae is a natural gift preferential for Quy Nhon. It is harvested for export or medicine, as fertilizer. However, the overexploitation of apricot algae also adversely affects the reproduction of some aquatic species.


"I first shot apricot in May 2021. If I had to comment, I found it a better time than this year. I was paddling SUP when I suddenly spotted the shoal through the drone," he said.


Sharing with the reporter, this photographer commented that the dream is also beautiful but the most beautiful is still to admire through photos. The wide camera angle of the new drone highlights a large area, filled with the yellow hue of dreamweed.


The most effective "dragon hunting" equipment is drones to take wide-angle photos. If you prefer, you can use the action camera to dive to capture coral reefs and underwater algae.
