Silhouette Sunrise

Posted on June 3, 2013 by kayakcameraman

3 June 2013: What a stunning silhouette sunrise this morning. I really didn’t expect to be paddling amongst crystal clear skies and sub zero temperatures after the rainy weekend that we just had. I can tell that we are definitely in winter now as my finger and toes are still thawing out from this morning’s frosty float on Lake Burley Griffin. I always return back so calm and peaceful after a paddle into the wetlands. How could you not when there are so many stunning silhouette reflections. I hope that you enjoy the photos.

The morning began with crystal clear skies and calm conditions.

A Winter Transformation

Posted on June 1, 2013 by kayakcameraman

1 June 2013: Winter started in true style this morning by lighting up the skies with beautiful pastel tones. We began with deep pre-dawn pinks which slowly built in intensity. It seemed as though I had witnessed nature’s palate for pinks, mauves and purples which slowly progressed to a stunning sunrise glow. It wasn’t long before the heavy clouds rolled in from the west quickly extinguishing all colour and soon it felt like I was paddling in a world of black and white. This was one amazing transformation.

Fog Mystique and Beauty

Posted on May 25, 2013 by kayakcameraman

25 May 2013: I hope that you enjoy this massive photo story from this mornings foggy paddle on LBG. I just love the mystique and beauty of a thick blanketing fog. I was cocooned by fog that was like pea soup this morning and it created one of the best atmospheres that you could ever ask for. This lake never cease to amaze and astound me, I just love how the fog rolls through in waves. One minute you think that it’s going to clear, only to discover that it thickens even more. Then you have the sun trying its best to burn through the thick mist to reveal a crystal blue sky. This is why I love kayaking and photography, every day is a new adventure!

Wetland Perspective

Posted on May 23, 2013 by kayakcameraman

23 May 2013: There was no need for speed this morning when you have reflections like this taking place. The protection that the wetlands provided made for some amazing reflection despite the overcast and windy conditions. A paddle into the our wetlands always guarantees a calm and peaceful experience and this morning didn’t disappoint.

6.47am: A paddle into the wetlands is always beautiful.

Splendid Sunday on the Coast

Posted on May 19, 2013 by kayakcameraman

19 may 2013: It began with an early morning paddle and then a walk on the beach where we had it entirely to ourselves; at times it felt like I was on ‘Lost’ and it was 10am. Then it was into the car to tour the many stunning headlands which are just a stone throw from each other to discover a few more pristine beaches before we headed home.
Our base camp for the weekend was the Seven Mile Beach Holiday Park at Gerroa. It’s in a great location and you are situated directly on Crooked River and only a short stroll through the sand dunes to Seven Mile Beach. The accommodation was excellent and very well priced, it certainly ticked all the boxes for us.
This part of the coast has so much to offer, there is a multitude of water ways that will cater for all needs, brilliant point and beach breaks and most times (outside of school Hols) you will probably be the only one who is walking along the beach. It has been a few years since I had last been through Gerroa and Gerringong and it certainly wont be the last! I hope you enjoy a few happy snaps from today’s adventures.

Base camp cabin….great location. That’s the Crooked River in front.

Surreal Sunrise + Balloons = Unique Canberra Landscape.

Posted on May 9, 2013 by kayakcameraman

May 9, 2013: Dancing mist on the water, balloons hovering overhead and a smooth sunrise was the perfect combination to start the day. The mist rolled in from the wetlands at 5.45am chasing me into the main basin. This gave Lake Burley Griffin a totally different persona and it wasn’t too long before the morning sun burnt through to reveal a beautiful autumn day here in Canberra.

6.12am: A misty start to day.

High Voltage Viewing

Posted on April 26, 2013 by kayakcameraman

26 April 2013: What an electric morning. I decided to venture into the wetlands this morning for a peaceful paddle as the winds were up a little. The sky this morning was amazing and the calmness of the wetlands combined together to produce some stunning landscapes scenery. How lucky are we to have something like this on our door step. I don’t think that there would be too many other Capital cities in the world that have a wetland environment five minutes from its CBD. I hope that you enjoy a few snap shots from this morning.

5.52am: It was shaping up to be a howler on a morning.

5.52am: It was shaping up to be a howler off a morning.

Chillaxing all the way but our senses were on fire!

Posted on April 13, 2013 by kayakcameraman

13 April 2013: We had it all this morning, fire red autumn leaves reflecting on glassy water, misty silhouettes, dragon boats, laser sunrises and crystal blue skies. But in true style we just sat back and chillaxed our way through the entire morning, taking it all in and making sure that we didn’t miss a thing. There may have been a chill in the air but the senses were definitely on fire this morning. Yet again I have been treated to an awesome autumn display on Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra.
