Alex Wise is a photographer based in Tasmania, Australia. He enjoys many styles of photography but in particular waterscape photography.
He does alot of work with long exposures on water. Much of his work is compiled of this style of photography. His location means he has access to many different and intresting locations to shoot from.
This beach is one of his most common spots to photograph at. Its rocky look makes for great photo oppertunities, with the light shining on all the different angles of the rocks. He likes to use a shutter speed of about 2 minutes, this gives enough time to get the smokey effect on the water. I really like how the water seems to glide gracefully over the rocks, and the beautiful sunset in the background adds the perfect amount of light to the image.
This photo is taken at a location called Liftey Falls. This is another of his most popular spots to photograph. I really like the composition in this photo, how the trees and rocks provide a natural frame to the flowing white waters of the waterfall. I like how streaky the water looks at the bottom of the fall, and how it weaves around the contrasting rocks.
I like this photo because of the perspective it has been taken at. Wise has used a low angle shot to give the impression of the waterfall being dominant. I like how the small patch of light at the top gives the whole image a very relaxed feel, and how the flowing white waters seem to fall in to the water beneath very calmly.
