Sometimes I’ll drive around aimlessly, looking for the opportunity to take a shot somewhere. Many times I’ll return home without even getting out of the car. This time things went according to plan and I walked away with this shot captured at Otago Bay, Tasmania. I’m not sure why but I really love reflections, my porfolio must be very repetive and boring with waterscapes and reflective shots haha.
I’d like to shoot this location again, like many places I shoot I always like to make a return to capture it in different weather conditions. This could look good on a very wild evening with the wind blowing hard, water like a washing machine and the clouds very angry. Maybe over winter I shall.
This was shot with a Canon 350D, Canon 10–22 and Cokin ND Grads. You can notice the grad slightly at the top of the frame as it begins out dark and slowly neutralises.
This afternoon I watched Heima and you should too. I’ve never really listened to Sigur Rós but was more interested in the beautiful way for which it was filmed, the timelapses in the film are amazing.

Hi Alex, you’re taking some great photos. If you’re ever over in Perth, email me to go out shooting.
I have been reading your blog for while and well I though I better leave a comment.
I was looking at this photo and thinking man I never see water that calm over here in Perth (on account of the wind) but then I looked again past the shipwreck and saw it actually quite choppy. Because of your use of foreground however, you’d never really notice it.
Thank you very much for the comment James. It especially means alot when it’s coming from someone who has a nice gallery like yours.
