| john king photo A technical breakdown of this photo reveals there are many things to consider when planning an important photo. |
Having lived in Kamloops, B.C., off and one since July 2012, I have learned how the sun rolls around this place. When thinking about how I was to shoot the water intake, I realized a morning shot before the sunrise would suit my purposes well. This is because the sun shines bright on the river, almost too bright, to get a proper shot of the intake, which is coloured somewhat dusty. At shot at dusk would find the sun and me on the wrong side of a good photograph.
So to do this, I had to go down to the river early in the morning and take a shot before the sun peeked through the clouds. I had to switch to an old wide angle lens I have to get something that contained the river, beach, and intake, as well as the sky and clouds.
Also, I had to find a spot to take the picture as the intake isn't the easiest place along the river to access. After parking my vehicle behind the front side of the intake, I walked a couple of blocks to a side road between some houses. There, I spotted a bit of beach between what I assumed is private property. From there I took my shot about 100 metres from the intake.
