The Dramatic Tower
About Share PurchaseAs a photographer, I tend to enjoy dramatic lighting. Lots of shadows, bright spots of light in an otherwise dark landscape, that kind of thing. Suffice it to say, I love Carol Reed’s film, The Third Man, and Ansel Adams’ photographers of the American southwest.
With this in mind, it’s a little bit surprising to me that I haven’t previously shot any images of the Riverside Water Tower that were dark and dramatic. Riverside is a pretty shiny, happy place, but even so, it seemed odd. I guess this particular photo had just fallen through the cracks.
Then I shot this image. It was a stormy day at sunset and for a brief instant, a ray of sun poked through the grey clouds and shined down upon the west side of the Tower. I only had time to shoot 2-3 images of this before the sun then disappeared. And presto, I had my dark, dramatic image of the tower!
