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!

9 June 2015: Winter may be cool in Canberra but these conditions often produce some of the most amazing lightshows. It was colourful sunrise that seemed to last for ages and it truly didn’t disappoint. I would have loved to be out on the water for this sunrise as the reflections would have been superb, but was great to watch the pastel colours light up the morning sky from home.

Mist and Drift

7 June 2015: This morning I was treated to some sensational scenery as I drifted my way amongst the mist on LBG. It was amazing how the mist would roll through the basin in waves that continually changed the mood of the morning. The temperatures in Canberra may be fresh, but you will not experience such beauty unless you have such conditions. This is why I love my misty morning paddles!

Frosty and Fantastic

4 June 2015: The frosty conditions were freezing the fingers, but the sensational scenery was burning a permanent etching into my retinas as I witnessed another stunning morning unfold. The sun looked amazing, like a giant orange rising from the east burning its way through the mist to shed light on yet another wonderful day. Many people ridicule Canberra’s cold climate, but you don’t experience such beauty without extreme conditions. Winter in Canberra can offer many memorable moments if you take the time to get out and enjoy it.
