Literacy Test 6 Section 2

Once you have thought about the character of the shore, look for elements you can use to reinforce the feeling you're after. Palm trees make a good frame for a tropical beach; a spray of water shooting over rocks adds drama to a rugged coastal scene. As in the desert, be careful about sand. If it's windy, be sure to protect your camera and lenses from blowing sand. Don't open the camera back unless you are in an area that is well sheltered. What element would you want to include in your photo if you wanted to show the harshness of an ocean storm? a. A spray of water shooting over the rocks b. The contrast of the blue ocean with the white sandy beach c. Include a tropical palm tree d. A dolphin jumping in the water

a. A spray of water shooting over the rocks

Look for ways to show the rugged nature and the beauty of deserts. In the middle of the day, find waves caused by the heat. Using a long lens to compress them, you'll get dramatic shots that really say "hot." Deserts are also great places for pictures of stars. There is no humidity, and usually no terrestrial lights to interfere, so stars seem more numerous and are unusually brilliant. Watch the way the color of the sand changes throughout the day with the angle of the sun. Think about ways to capture the characteristics of the desert. A wide shot might best portray one desert, while a close-up of one plant struggling to survive on the side of a dune might best represent another. How would you photograph the desert so that the viewer can really feel the heat of the desert? a. Make sure the sun is in the photo b. Use a long lens to capture heat waves c. Take a picture of a cactus d. Take the photo at the hottest part of the day.
