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!

Frost afloat

On Wednesday morning this floating leaf caught my eye. It looked pretty cool. This just shows you how cold the water is, I think that the water temperature is a mere 5 degrees at the moment.

A fuchsia pink dawn

Posted on September 4, 2012 by kayakcameraman

6.08am: It was a fuchsia pink dawn this morning.

6.14am: It’s amazing how you only have a very short window of opportunity to snap the shot, although I was treated to this light show for about 15minutes.

First day of spring on LBG (Meeting fellow LBG enthusiast)

Posted on September 2, 2012 by kayakcameraman

During my morning paddle on Lake Burley Griffin I crossed paths with a fellow paddler, or maybe I should say ‘sculler.’

It was an amazing morning. When I woke at 5.00pm I looked out the window and quickly noticed the huge moon sitting pride of place in the morning sky. I hastily made my way down to the lake to try and capture the full moon reflecting on the capitals landmarks.

Evening sunset

This was the sunset that I originally set out to capture for the evening.

Great way to send off winter

Posted on August 31, 2012 by kayakcameraman

What a great way to send off winter. After a cold day of squalling winds and patchy rain, who would have ever thought that the day would turn out like this? It was truly stunning! My main aim was to paddle into the main basin to capture a silhouette sunset of the Brindabella Mountain range, but as I paddled under the Kings Avenue Bridge I noticed that the water was a like a sheet of glass and the Carillion foreshore lit up by the sunset.

WOW……

Aside

WOW………

We were treated to a spectacular 45 minute light show this morning on Lake Burley Griffin which quickly turned into a grey dawn. This was taken at 6.21am on the 29-8-12. I love it when the conditions are like this; just stunning

There is nothing better…..

There is nothing better than having an early morning paddle on Lake Burley Griffin. For me it is certainly the best way to start the day. This was taken at approximately 6:50am this morning.
