53、【11题详解】根据上文“Capturing a dramatic sky with a camera is more difficult than it seems. With the sky lighter than the land, the camera will typically over-expose the sky, turning a brilliant blue into an unexciting gray. (用相机捕捉引人注目的天空比看起来要困难得多。由于天空比陆地亮，相机通常会过度曝光天空，将明亮的蓝色变成平淡的灰色)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，有启示下文的作用，结合

54、后文主要介绍了一些拍摄天空的技巧，故G选项“这里有一些拍摄出完美天空的技巧”符合语境，故选G。【12题详解】根据标题“Time is right.(时间正确)”以及后文“The sky thats gray one day, could be bright blue the next. When planning out a landscape photo, consider how the timing will impact the sky.(今天还是灰色的天空，明天可能会变成明亮的蓝色。在规划一张风景照片时，要考虑时机对天空的影响)”可知，本段主要说明的是拍摄天空要注意时机问题，且标题中

55、Time可对应到F选项中timing。故F选项“但要拍摄出完美的天空，时机是很重要的”符合语境，故选F。【13题详解】本空为本段小标题，根据后文“Photography rules are sometimes meant to be broken.
