Alex Wise Photography

self.

This wasn’t taken in summer but let’s just pretend anyway. I purposely avoid waterfalls and streams in summer as they’re dry and the sky usually isn’t overcast which means harsh light poking through the trees making uneven highlights all over the show. Captured at Mt Field National Park on the track headed to Russell Falls

2 minute exposure of a nice wooden jetty that I’ve been wanting to photograph for some time. It was a cold and wet afternoon so I was lucky to catch a break in the weather to capture this before the rain set back in again.

Continuing on with a recent trend of old or ruined jetties, this was taken on a cold and wet afternoon in Hobart, Tasmania.

This is one of those shots that as a photographer the more you look at it the more you dislike it. I’m still not sure if I like the angle or not. The shot was composed to avoid surrounding residential to the right which meant a tighter crop but I can’t help but wish it was a bit wider. But enough of that. This was shot with a B+W 110 filter which allowed me to obtain a 2 minute exposure even though it was reasonably light. I also used a Cokin nd grad over the sky to avoid the sky over exposing.

p.s. I got drenched after taking this shot.

Thanks for viewing

I like this one but don’t expect others to. This was strange, I looked up to hear yelling from a far and noticed some jokers yelling obscenities at me. It was 7.30 so I guess they’re excused. I’m not a morning person either.

Today I went and took photographs with Nigel Honey and Andrew Skegg.

This was captured at Horseshoe Falls in Mt Field National Park. I’ve included a comparison of what a quick exposure would have looked like click here.

One from the archives at Friendly Beaches, Tasmania. A nice place not far from Coles Bay or if you’r a tourist, Freycinet National Park. This was shot with the Canon 350D, Canon 10-22 and Cokin Nd grads. This is an amazing place I might go back this week for a freezing camping expedition.
