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!

Autumn in CBR is Amazing

Posted on June 9, 2014 by kayakcameraman

“A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air.” This quote by Eric Sloane sums up autumn in Canberra perfectly as it has been absolutely stunning this year. So beautiful, I decided to put a compilation of my favourite autumn experiences. I have been treated to many gorgeous sunrises and sunsets and even bedazzled by hot air balloons drifting on LBG during the balloon festival. Canberra has been amass with a wonderful spectrum of colours as we have transitioned from summer into winter. I hope that you enjoy my photostory of autumn.

Beach and Bush Delight

Posted on May 18, 2014 by kayakcameraman

18 May 2014: I love feeling the sand between my toes and listening to waves methodically crash on the bank while a gorgeous sunrise is taking place. This was such a lovely way to begin the day, but then it was off to paddle and explore the beautiful Bumbo Creek. This creek is absolutely stunning and picture perfect as we paddled on super smooth mirrored waters for the entire 4hour duration. The wild life was superb and the reflections were out of this world. I hope that you enjoy the photostory from Tuross Head.
