Afternoon Delight by

Another one from my Tassie trip, taken somewhere between Hobart and Launceston. The wind chill factor on top of the hill I was standing on was absolutely ridiculous but seemed to be worth it in the end. I had to put the ISO up a bit to get a half decent shutter speed as the wind was blowing so hard against the tripod. One of the first times I have mounted the 70-200L on my tripod, was pretty cool!

Settings

  1. Canon 5D mk II, 70-200mm L FL: 90 mm
  2. 1/320th of a second @ f8, ISO 400
  3. Lee 0.9 ND Hard Graduated Filter
  4. Adobe Lightroom 3

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..
