photos of whats for dinner is socialmedia users favorite hobby, but making dishes appear as delicious as they taste is an elusive (难以捉摸的) skill.with a few professional tips, amateur food photographers can give their smartphonephotographed meals a major upgrade.while stressing perfect shaping is unnecessary, food photographer jody horton does pay attention to the plate itself.“you want to be sure that the food will separate from the surface on which its sitting，” he said.“so a red apple on a red plate likely wont photograph well.” consider creating a contrast between the plate and the table, such as white china on a dark wood surface.good lighting is key.natural light that comes from behind the food is the best, so mr.horton turns off indoor lights and the cameras flash, and he places the plate in front of a window that provides indirect sunlight.restaurants, unfortunately, are difficult spots to photograph food.when taking professional pictures, mr.horton usually moves the entire table to desired light, sometimes with the help of candlelight.the safest angle for taking a food picture is from directly above, with only the food in the frame.when you take a photograph from overhead, its helpful to hold a piece of paper out of the frame but opposite your light source to throw light back toward the food.those who want a pleasant ambience (气氛) in their photos should consider taking their smartphone cameras even higher by standing on a chair and bringing in the layout (布局) of the table, while still allowing lighting to be fairly simple.certain types of food can be especially hard to photograph well.it is difficult to handle foods in bland (平淡的) colors, because it can be hard to tell what they are.drinks are challenging because glass is so reflective.(one tip: light them well.)food photography can be about much more than the final product on the plate.“some of the most interesting moments happen during preparation，” says mr.horton.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。食物摄影是很多爱好者喜欢的娱乐方式，但是要把食物拍得可口却并不容易。12what does the underlined word “contrast” in para.2 mean?aslight distinction.bweak link.cmarked difference. dclose

plate in front of a window that provides indirect sunlight”可知，来自食物后面的非直射的自然光线是最好的。14what does mr.horton advise amateur food photographers to do?aallow the food to become the focus.bpay attention to the shape of the food.cgive up the food in challenging colors.dcreate an ambience via a piece of paper.解析：选a推理判断题。由第二段的“the food will separate from the surface on which its sitting”和第三段的“the safest
