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!

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.

Lights and Colour

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.

Marvellous Monday

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

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!
