Best of July

Posted on August 4, 2013 by kayakcameraman

What a wonderful winter it’s been. The thing I love the most about winter is that it produces the most amazing conditions with each morning having its own unique signature. One morning its crystal clear and the Red Chilli is slicing its way through glassy waters. The next morning it’s thick as pea soup and you can’t see five metres in front of you. I hope that you enjoy the variety of shots that comprise my ‘Best of July’ photo journal.

A brilliant transformation, the pastel pinks quickly turned into glossy gold’s.

Surreal Saturday

Posted on July 27, 2013 by kayakcameraman

27 July 2013: I was totally immersed in another world this morning. That would have to be one of the most amazing experiences I have had for a while. I just drifted away and allowed myself to escape into Mother Nature’s beauty. I consider myself one lucky person.

I could tell from the very start that it was going to be another stunning morning.

Molten Sunrise

Posted on July 19, 2013 by kayakcameraman

19 July 2013: WOW. It looked as though molten lava was spilling from the sky and floating on the waters surface this morning. That sunrise is etched well and truly into my retinas for life. Its been a while since I have taken in a sunrise that was so vivid; it was mind blowing. Newcastle has certainly farewelled me in true style. I hope you enjoy the shots.

Sunrise + Sand + Newcastle = Fantastic trip down memory lane

Posted on July 18, 2013 by kayakcameraman

18 July 2013: This morning I decided to go for a walk and take in the sunrise from my old stomping grounds rather than go for a paddle and what a fantastic decision that was. It was so nice to just sit back and enjoy a glorious sunrise from my old surfing spots from Newcastle to Nobbys beach. The pre-dawn tones were sublime and the morning transformation was brilliant. My walk this morning brought back so many memories and reminded how important it is to get out there and enjoy the simple things. I hope that you enjoy this mornings shots as much as I enjoyed photographing them, I had such a beautiful trip down memory lane.

6.16am: New day beginning at Nobbys Beach.

Marvellous Monday

Posted on July 15, 2013 by kayakcameraman

15 July 2013:Wow what a marvellous Monday morning out on LBG.

It may have been a grey and overcast Monday morning with the odd drizzle about, but the water was super glassy. It’s been a while since I have seen the entire lake like a sheet of glass. The calm cloudy conditions made for perfect paddling and great photographic conditions, the soft light was brilliant and the mirror reflections keep me out there for a lot longer than I anticipated. How can you leave the water when it’s just so good!

My good mate….’Charlie Honker’…the protector of the lake.

Steely Blue Saturday

Posted on June 29, 2013 by kayakcameraman

29 June 2013: The overcast conditions and drizzly rain couldn’t put a dampener on my morning paddle. Instead it created many amazing steel blue reflections as the sun was trying its best to break through the low heavy clouds. It certainly had an alpine feel about it out there this morning.

The rain held off and everything lined up to produce another nice morning out there on the water.

Fav shots from the last 12 Months

Posted on June 24, 2013 by kayakcameraman

This morning I have selected a few of my favourite shots (33) that showcase how wonderful the past year has been.Today is quite a significant day for me as it is marks 12 months since the Lake View blog commenced with the Canberra Times. This morning I have selected a few of my favourite shots that showcase how wonderful the past year has been. No two days are the same, and each day provides me with a natural light show that sometimes leaves me gasping in wonder. What I love about photography and paddling is that it provides me with an incredibly calm headspace.

I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I have enjoyed capturing these moments.

Great reflections from Kings Avenue Bridge as I headed into the Main Basin

Marbled Transformation

Posted on June 12, 2013 by kayakcameraman

12 June 2013: As I paddled my way up into the wetlands this morning I was met with marbled skies and mirror reflections. Yet again I was treated to another beautiful pastel transformation. On my return I noticed that the containment lines had been removed from the new Kingston foreshore development site which gave me a chance to have a sneak peak and capture a few early progress shots.
