Use a centered composition to place the lotus leaf in the middle of the frame, highlighting its shape and translucent texture. The photographer should use a flat shooting angle, including the lotus leaf and the surrounding rippling water, while preserving the reflections and light spots on the water. It is recommended to use a telephoto lens or a 5x zoom on a smartphone. When shooting against the light, adjust the exposure appropriately to avoid overexposure while retaining the golden light spots on the water.

Additional tips: Be mindful of your safety when shooting by the lake.
