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!

Wonderful Memories

22 April 2014: Wonderful memories came flooding back as I was bathed in golden light on Newcastle Beach and the Newcastle Ocean Baths this morning. I spent the majority of my youth scampering and jumping off Newcastle Point for a surf, swimming in the Newcastle Ocean Baths and chasing waves at Nobbys Beach. This is such a gorgeous stretch and I thoroughly enjoyed wondering around my old stomping grounds this morning. I hope that you enjoy the shots.

Change of Scenery

18 April 2014: LBG definitely had an alpine feel about it this morning with mist hovering in the valleys and the surrounding mountains. At 5.45am the sky was clear and I was being treated to some very soft morning tones. The scenery changed dramatically when the fog rolled in from the East Basin blanketing the entire lake and creating a mystical scene.

Immersed in a World of Beauty

17 April 2014: This morning I was engulfed by a golden misty blanket and transported to a world of sheer beauty. The elements were all on my side with clear skies, non existent winds and water like a sheet of glass. I’m absolutely loving autumn in Canberra.

Breathtakingly Beautiful

15 April 2014: I was engulfed by golden mist and shards of light as I paddled my way into the Jerrabomberra Wetlands this morning. I am always in awe of the scenery on display in our nation’s capital. It really is breathtakingly beautiful at this time of the year and I encourage others to experience what Canberra has to offer.

Sunset Serenade

8 April 2014: Words can’t really describe what I experienced this afternoon, but hopefully the pictures will convey the feeling of what it was like to be out on the water and drift your way into a beautiful sunset. The winds were light, the light was superb and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my sunset serenade…..I hope that you enjoy it as well.
