About Alistair Wilson

Photography for me is an outlet, a way I can express myself through images rather than words. I look at the subjects I shoot from every possible angle that I can imagine and with the right light, the vision in my head becomes a reality. My passion for it began after high school and over the past several years it has become my release, my way of seeing from a different perspective..

    I prefer the composition in this landscape format. The focus is more on the pyramid shaped rock rather in this one.

  • Cheers Shane, yeah I think I prefer this one as well. annoys me slightly that the rock closest to the camera is slightly out of focus because i only used f 5.6. will know better next time

    I like this composition better as well Alistair – would have been tempted to “disappear” the lights too.

  • Thanks Garth, yeah actually I think you are right about the lights!
