Features: Tranquil birch forests, emerald grasslands, deep blue lakes, psychedelic colorful forests, high blue skies, and ever-changing, magical light and shadow. In a single moment, within the photographer's lens, a magnificent dance is completed. This is the grassland of Basi in Keshiketeng Banner, Inner Mongolia, with the brightness of spring, the depth of summer, the vibrancy of autumn, and the lightness of winter. Her mystery and magnificence stem from her clarity and tranquility. Reliant on heaven and earth, she shines with the sun and moon. For a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, she grows with the wind and thrives with the rain.
Photography is the journey of the photographer's inner emotions and the path toward nature. The further one walks, the firmer the steps become. In just five or six years, the Focal Point Club has produced 5 members of the China Photographers Association, 5 members of the China Art Photography Society, and 7 members of the Zhejiang Photographers Association. Their works have won hundreds of awards in national and provincial photography competitions and have been published in hundreds of magazines and newspapers. At the 10th China International Photography Art Exhibition, 9 of their works received silver awards and were selected. At the 12th and 13th Austria Super Photography Touring Exhibition, 37 works were awarded silver medals and selected. At the 19th, 20th, and 21st China National Photography Exhibition, 5 of their works were selected. These remarkable achievements have made the Focal Point Club the focal point of photography in Lishui.
