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!

Lost in the Reflections

12 Jan 2016: Every day produces something new to marvel at and today was no exception. We had vivid early morning reflections that developed into one of the most beautiful sunrises I have seen for some time. Early on I had the entire lake all to myself but it wasn’t long before the activity ramped up with dragon boaters, kayakers and scullers all enjoying the calm and warm conditions.

Pastels and Dragons

10 Jan 2016: It started out as a lazy Sunday drifting amongst the early morning pastel glow. Each bend of the Molonglo River treated me to a visual delight as I glided on glass reflections while watching the day unfold in spectacular style. Then if the morning couldn’t get any better, I was lucky enough to encounter Randall the Water Dragon. This was an excellent experience that just topped my morning off perfectly. He knew the exact location to position himself to receive the warmth of the morning sun and wasn’t fazed by my presence the least. This is such a unique perspective and a truly peaceful way to start the day

Wonderful Welcoming

9 Jan 2016: What a wonderful welcoming for my first paddle on Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra for 2016. This morning I drifted amongst the beautiful swans, captivated by the brilliance of the balloons and enjoyed the gorgeous tones of a CBR Sunrise. It you are interested in seeing Canberra from a balloon you can contact Balloon Aloft Canberra via their Facebook or  website. I hope that you enjoy the imagery.
