24、You see the beauty of the world with your eyes, and you record it with a camera.

The famous National Geographic magazine holds a photography contest(竞赛) for kids every year, which is one of the top contests of its kind. Every year, thousands of kids aged between 6 and 14 take part in it. They take pictures of wild animals, their amazing vacations, and the fun and weird things around them.

One of the pictures that leave a deep impression(印象) on many people was the one from the former winner Pan Yinzhi. Pan Yinzhi, a student from Shanghai, won first prize in the Weird But True category many years ago.

Pan’s picture is of the containers(集装箱) at a dock(码头) in Shanghai. The vivid colors of these containers shone brightly, thanks to the glow of the sunset. But what’s special about this picture is that it was taken by a drone(无人机) from the air. So those huge boxes looked like small Lego blocks(乐高积木).

“A good photo reminds people of the beauty they may never pay attention to,” Pan said. “Wow! I can look at the world from this perspective! That’s the feeling I want my picture to bring to people.”

Pan thinks the ideas behind the pictures are what matter most. Although he sometimes uses a drone, he is not a fan of the extra equipment. “Like every other kid, I take photos with my cellphone in daily life,” said Pan. “If you want to learn photography, don’t wait! Just grab(抓起) your cellphone!”
