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!

Misty Morning Delight

15 May 2014: It’s was as if I were teleported to another place. I love my misty morning paddles and the atmosphere that it creates. This morning the sky was clear, the conditions were smooth and soft tones were radiating. Then just on sunrise the fog and mist slowly crept in to create a totally different mood out on the water. This is why I enjoy paddling on Lake Burley Griffin as the transformation took place within 30 minutes to produce some spectacular scenery. I hope that you enjoy the photostory of my misty morning paddle.

Lost for Words

10 May 2014: Stunning, brilliant, excellent, awesome, surreal….someone get me a thesaurus! These are a few words that can be used to describe this morning’s wonderful sunrise in Canberra. I am constantly bewildered and blown away every time I venture out on the water. Every sunrise has its own unique signature and this morning’s was spectacular. I hope that you enjoy the shots as much as I enjoyed taking them. Have a great weekend!

Beautiful Recipe

6 May 2014:I love how the mist turns gold just as the sun pops. The light was so soft, mist was hovering all around and the water was like a sheet of glass. Now that is definitely a beautiful recipe, I love my misty morning paddles on LBG and this morning didn’t disappoint. It’s shaping up to be gorgeous autumn day in Canberra and I hope that it is an enjoyable one for you.
