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!

Posted on August 31, 2013 by kayakcameraman

31 August 2013: That was one of the most mind blowing gorgeous, stunning, brilliant, vivid, amazing, glorious, fantastic (and as many other great words you can use) sunrise. Super wow, mega wow come close to describing the impact that had on me. I am truly blessed to be able to experience something like this. My Canon PowerShot D20 was working overtime this morning capturing a superb send off to winter. I hope you enjoy the shots from this morning as much I do.

Smiles all around

Posted on August 28, 2013 by kayakcameraman

28 August 2013: There were huge smiles from everyone as it was a glorious spring like morning. There were plenty of people out and about enjoying the superb conditions. Kayakers were out there slicing through the mist, people were whizzing by on bikes hands waving in the air, loads of walkers and joggers were happily chatting and saying hello. The scull population has dramatically increased over the past fortnight as they were shooting all over the place. Spring is definitely on its way and I can’t wait to see Canberra burst into colour. I hope you get the chance to get outside today and enjoy it.

5.55am: What a beautiful start to the day.

Marbled Madness

Posted on August 26, 2013 by kayakcameraman

Hidden Treasure

Posted on August 22, 2013 by kayakcameraman

22 August 2013: I was totally blown away this morning. Who would have thought that a vivid and gorgeous sunrise could take place on such a blustery and miserable morning? I was on the water for 6am and I decided to drift my way up the Molonglo River with dark and heavy clouds brooding overhead. Then it was as if someone opened the hidden treasure box. The light show was brilliant, intense and lasted for about 10 minutes. My pocket rocket ‘Canon PowerShot D20’ was working over time as I truly didn’t expect to be treated to anything like this at all. The beautiful colours were quickly extinguished and it wasn’t long before I was paddling amongst light drizzle. Totally amazing; it just goes to show you, you never know what you will experience until you get out there and have a go.

The skies were angry this morning!

Turbulent sunrise

Posted on August 21, 2013 by kayakcameraman

It sure was a cold and turbulent morning out there with the wind slicing straight through you. I decided to seek the protection of the wetlands with my aim to capture a small amount of beauty on an otherwise bleak start to the day. It certainly is a day to rug up in your thermals and uggies.

The lake was angry this morning!

Natures Artwork

17 August 2013: I consider myself one lucky man to be able to witness something so beautiful. This mornings transformation was absolutely sublime, natures colour palate is unmatchable and the pattern configurations that were created by mirrored waters made it such a peaceful way to start the day. I hope that you enjoy the shots.

Chalk and Cheese

Posted on August 11, 2013 by kayakcameraman

What a wonderful weekend it has been and I couldn’t have had two totally different mornings. This is why Lake Burley Griffin continues to blow me away, each day it continually serves me up something new. My pocket rocket Canon PowerShot D20 was working overtime!
