问题       People take photographs for a 【C1】______ of reasons but the most 【C2】______ is to make a record of something in order to show others and to look back on in times to come. The subject is the sole reason for taking pictures like these and aesthetic standards are not usually a consideration as long as the image is sharp and clear. 【C3】______  for those us who call ourselves photographers the situation is often 【C4】______   and the subject becomes【C5】______ much less importance than the visual and photographic quality of the image.
      I’ve just spent a few days in Paris and have returned home without a single picture of the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe or Notre Dame. Why? Because during the time of my visit the weather and the【C6】______  would not have produced the sort of quality and atmosphere I wanted my photographs to have. If I’d simply wanted a visual record  of these places  I  would  have been  much  better【C7】______  buying a postcard. On the other hand I did take a shot of some wet cobblestones that I’m pretty pleased with, although as visual memento of Paris it leaves something【C8】______   
     It’s not unreasonable to ask why taking a photograph of wet cobblestones should be more【C9】______ to me than shooting a beautiful building like Notre Dame. The answer is that the former was rich in many of the key visual elements which give an image that elusive eye-catching quality, whereas, on the day of my visit, Notre Dame was noticeably 【C10】______  them.
     As a travel photographer I often find myself in beautiful places knowing that what I’m seeing and experiencing is simply not going to make a striking photograph and I【C11】______  find that very frustrating. But it’s important to be able to recognise this. It’s sad when you have to make excuses for a photograph... It was stunning but the photograph just hasn’t come【C12】______ very well. It was probably not there to begin with and building a reputation as a photographer has as much to do with the photographs you don’t take as it has with【C13】______  you do. Our vision is greatly influenced by factors which cannot be recorded on film, such as sounds, smells and even our mood. I’m sure you’ve taken what you thought would be great pictures 【C14】______  stimulated by an exciting event, a beautiful view, or simply when enjoying yourself, only to find that your pictures have captured nothing of what you believed to be¬ 【C15】______ , I know I have.
     It’s very significant that【C16】______  is also known【C17】______  an objective since it sees in a very cold, dispassionate way. We, on the other hand,【C18】______  in a very subjective way. The image which our eyes convey to the 【C19】______  is a moving one; it continually scans a scene, feeding an instantaneous montage of 【C20】______  which we subconsciously edit, focusing on the aspects of it which most interest us and ignoring those which don’t. This is how it’s possible to take a photograph and only later notice that a tree is growing from someone’s head or that there is an ugly pylon in the middle of a beautiful view.
