iN PHOTOS: Underwater views in Kamloops, Okanagan areas

Some shutterbugs got creative with photography this summer, dipping phones and cameras into area lakes and rivers for unique perspectives. Kamloops resident Sierra Lewis took her kids camping at Adams Lake in the Shuswap this summer where she captured her first underwater photo using her cell phone. “I wanted to try it out, to get an interesting shot of the water and stones,” she said. “I can go up to six metres underwater with this phone, this was just a test run, now I’ll be taking more.” Williams Lake resident Michelle Obre is having a fun travelling to lakes in the province with her three Canon cameras and a cell phone camera. She snapped some underwater photos at Pavilion Lake near Cache Creek this summer. “I find the phone camera does well under the water, but the cameras are better for sunset and landscape photography, the phone doesn’t grab the colours as well,” she said.
