About kayakcameraman

I’m a kayaker who has fallen in love with photography. You'll find me quietly snapping away at the unique seasonal changes that take place around me. I began paddling on the lake as a way to rebuild both my body and mind after enduring an intensive three-month bout of chemotherapy due to testicular cancer. I had never paddled a kayak prior to this and very quickly discovered how stunning it is to be on the water looking out – rather than in. What I love about photography and paddling is that it provides you with best head space. This is why I love my daily paddles, as it gives me peace and contentment along with some of the best natural light shows. Why would you not want to experience it!

Mirror on the Maria

14 July 2014: It felt like I was paddling through a corridor of mirrored reflections on the magical Maria River on the mid north coast. The scenery was stunning and I had the entire upper section of the river all to myself. This is one river that constantly treats me to many wonderful experiences every time I explore it. I hope you like the photostory.

Drawn into the Sunrise

13 July 2014: This morning I was drawn towards a beautiful sunrise as I walked my way along Newcastle Breakwall. The waves that crashed over the wall left a patch of water towards the end which allowed me view the breakwalll from a totally different perspective. I true Newcastle fashion there was plenty of action as there were joggers, bike riders, walkers and fisherman out and about on a nippy Newcastle morning. IMG_1798

Chilly in the Chilli

9 July 2014: It was a chilly paddle in the Red Chilli this morning. The day began with soft subtle tones to the west and the water was like a sheet of glass with light mist dancing on the surface. It didn’t take long for the day begin in stunning style and I was treated to many gorgeous crisp reflections. You know it’s cold when the water turns to ice on the hatch of your kayak. I hope that you enjoy the shots from my icy paddle on LBG this morning.

Foglicious

7 July 2014: You soon forget about the -3 degree wintery conditions and brittle twig like fingers when you are treated to a spectacular morning. LBG was cloaked in heavy fog but the sun managed to shine through and eventually burnt off transitioning Canberra into a brilliant clear day with perfect mirror reflections of our iconic buildings, The National Museum of Australia and Black Mountain Tower. What a cracker way to start the working week.

Canberra Cloak

2 July 2014: My face was damp, my fingers were fresh and the air was so saturated that it felt like light misty rain was falling. The scenery was surreal, what a great combination! The fog returned to cloak Canberra for the majority of the day but usually once the fog burns off we are be treated to a beautiful winter’s day. I hope you enjoy the shots from my foggy paddle on LBG. 🙂
