Alex Wise

Photographer: Alex Wise

Shooting subject: Landscape

Equipment: Canon EOS 350D, Canon EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS standard zoom lens, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM standard zoom lens, Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM ultra-wide zoom lens, Hoya R72 infrared filter, Cokin ND Grad Kit lenses, tripod.

Photography is a hobby that I enjoy as a means of escaping the stress of university, but also to appreciate the beauty of Tasmania. In the future I would like to expand into portraiture, but for now I'll have to see where life takes me ...

My main interest lies in waterscapes, but at times I like to deviate and explore other areas of photography. In this gallery, I have included three different shots to my normal style of work which are that of urban exploring and infrared photography. Both are very different to waterscape photography and require long exposure times to get the correct exposure, however I love the different results.

I shoot with a Canon EOS 350D and use a Canon 10-22mm and Canon 24-70mm lens combination which allows me ultra-wide capabilities and a little zoom where necessary. In most of my photographs, I utilise a Cokin ND grad set-up which works great for waterscape photography as it allows longer exposures whilst not blowing out highlights in the sky.

Excellent! The best piece of landscape photography I've seen! The creative side of photography is to bring the viewer to the site of where the photo was taken....this collection took me to those places in Tasmania. Thank you so much....xx

    • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50

      Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50

      Plentiful features with all manner of adjustable options, entertaining gimmicks and rock-solid shooting make us like this camera a lot. If you could stick an SD card slot in there, it'd be one of the best superzooms we've seen. Sadly, it loses marks for the proprietary connections.

    • Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

      Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

      It has been about two years since Panasonic's last LX-series camera, the DMC-LX2, was launched. One of the most interesting things about that model was its 16:9 aspect ratio sensor and a good range of manual controls not usually found in digital compact cameras. We spent a day with the upcoming successor to the LX2, the DMC-LX3. Here's what we found out.

    • Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd

      Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd

      We're actually struggling to think of anything bad about the 10-megapixel zooming behemoth that is the Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd. It's a versatile and reliable camera that gets looks, features, image quality and controls right.

    • Fujifilm FinePix J50

      Fujifilm FinePix J50

      The J50 is strictly for beginners who want a simple shooter to start exploring the world of photography. While the extensive modes make up for the lack of fancy features, little has been done to salvage the less-than-desired image quality.

    • Olympus E-420

      Olympus E-420

      The Olympus E-420 is a good beginner's dSLR with an extremely compact footprint that should go well with travellers. Just don't expect any fancy features for this budget model.
