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!

Lights and Colour

Posted on April 8, 2014 by kayakcameraman

8 April 2014: This morning I was guided by the lights of Kings Avenue Bridge, The National Carillon and the foreshore as I paddled my way into the main basin in the hope of another stunning sunrise. Unfortunately the conditions didn’t allow that to happen, but luckily for me the ever happy ‘Dragons Abreast’ ladies were out on LBG and they added a huge splash of colour to an overcast morning. I just love their enthusiasm and fun, they are such a great site on the water.

On approach to the Kings Ave Bridge.

7 April 2014: “In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous” Aristotle.

The working week has started in spectacular style and it appears that the drizzle which we have experience over the past few day has moved on to leave us with clear blue skies. I hope that you have a great day.

Lovely Greeting

Posted on April 2, 2014 by kayakcameraman

2 April 2014: I just love being greeted with mist dancing on mirrored waters and soft subtle tones. I had such a pleasurable time watching the soft tones transform into a vivid and bright explosion of light as the sun burst the morning mist to liven up the day. I’ll gladly be welcomed like that any time. Have a great day!

Meet a #Canberra Foodie: Eileen (@TheFoodAvenue)

CBRfoodie

I first met Eileen very briefly at a #CBRTweetUp event a couple of months ago at a café on Canberra’s southside and have been following her blog and tweets with interest ever since. I think her unique international experience, networks and love for good food and everything enjoyable in Canberra make her someone to watch as she evolves her blogging and confidence with social media. She also mentioned that she is sharing her experiences with food and growing cooking skills with some workmates so I’m hoping I will be able to take a class with her in the near future.

Who are you Eileen? I’ve been trained as an apprentice hairdresser, a journalist, a lawyer, and a public servant. In essence though, I’m a foodie that loves to take photos of her food and sharing it with people. I also love fashion and beauty. I started the blog because friends…

Autumn Mystic

Posted on March 29, 2014 by kayakcameraman

29 March 2014: There’s something special about slicing through glassy waters in the dark while being surrounded in fog. Autumn is here and I’m loving it, I was so excited the moment I open the door at 5.30am to discover that it was a foggy morning here in Canberra. The winds were no existent and I just couldn’t get myself down to the lake quick enough. It’s something that is hard to describe, but it’s an experience that is totally unique and something quite a surreal.

I wonder if Excalibur is hidden here….That’s how it felt.

Beautiful Time of Year

Posted on March 22, 2014 by kayakcameraman

22 March 2014: I’m loving the autumn sunrises and how the mist is just starting to be a part of my daily routine. The morning started out with soft pre-dawn tones that lasted for ages and then it all quickly changed as the sun finally decided to pop up from the clouds to burn through the mist to liven up everything up. I can’t wait to see what the next few weeks will bring as this is such a beautiful time of year.

Natures Masterpiece

Posted on March 19, 2014 by kayakcameraman

19 March 2014: Mother Nature definitely created a beautiful masterpiece this morning as she livened up our skies. I was wowed as the clouds were back lit with array of vivid colours and everything was enhanced as the light reflected off mirror waters. Now that was one stunning start to the day.
