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!

Autumn Tribute

30 May 2015: As we farewell autumn in Canberra we can reflect on what makes it so appealing. A kaleidoscope of colour, crystal skies and cool crisp mornings are just some of the reasons we love this time of year. The conditions have been perfect to enjoy all that Canberra has on offer from the opening of the balloon festival to the first sign of frost. While winter kicks off tomorrow we are still seeing traces of Autumn, especially along the foreshore where the ornamental pears are still on display.

Nature’s Slideshow

23 May 2015: “It’s amazing what you can see when you just sit quietly and look” by Jacqueline Kelly sums up my morning experience perfectly! I was in no hurry at as the morning started off with a vivid orange pre-dawn spectacular (40 mins prior) and changed so quickly to such soft pink and blues. I didn’t even have time to move and it felt like I was living in nature’s slide show. The mist began rolling in from the Molonglo River to create an awesome atmosphere. At one point I was watching shards of 3D golden beams burning through the mist. The scenery was that good that I moved at a frantic pace of 50 meters per hour. How could you not!
