Soothing Sunset
20 Sept 2014: I was bathed in soft subtle light on Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra this afternoon. It began with beautiful blues swirling on the waters surface while the sun shone through the clouds creating an amazing atmosphere. Soon I was being treated to gorgeous golden reflections that lit up the sky and then ‘Mother Nature’ saved the best for last by ending a fantastic spring day with soothing hues.

Friday Treat
12 Sept 2014: Even on a dull and overcast morning there’s never a dull moment on Lake Burley Griffin. We had balloons hovering high in the sky and even at one stage the RAAF balloon was basket dragging on the water’s surface through the middle of the main basin. Then the ever happy dragon boaters came tearing past me (as usual) adding a huge splash of colour to a grey morning. It was a great way to end the working week
Pastel Performance
9 Sept 2014: I was treated to a wonderful light show this morning in Canberra. The clouds acted as a natural filter softening the sunlight which cast gorgeous pastel tones to light up the sky. It started off with soft mauves tones and it quickly transformed into a stunning vivid light show.We are treated to many stunning mornings and this one was no exception!
Etched Sunset
6 Sept 2014: Today’s sunset will be etched in my mind for a long time. I am continually awestruck by the beautiful sunsets that we are treated to here in Canberra. They are a constant reminder of how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful city. I’m so grateful to be able to experience and share these magical moments with you.

Sensational Start to Spring
1 Sept 2014: Spring has started in sensational style and what a magic morning to be out on Lake Burley Griffin. Spring is always a spectacular season and it won’t be too long before Canberra is in full colour. I can’t wait!
Robin Williams quote sums it up perfectly “Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!”
Farewell to Winter
31 Aug 2014: There was a chill in the air, the landscape was shroud with mist and I was slicing my through glassy waters once again on Lake Burley Griffin. It was a beautiful farewell to winter and it didn’t take too long for the mist to burn off to reveal the beginning of a beautiful day in Canberra. Winter has provided me with many wonderful moments, but I’m really looking forward to the warmth and colour that spring will bring.
Pocket Rocket Review – Canon PowerShot D30
I was recently given the opportunity to trial & test the new Canon PowerShot D30. I was excited and eager to trial the new look Canon PowerShot D30. I have been shooting with the Canon PowerShot D20 for the past thee years and I have certainly put it through its paces and haven’t been disappointed.
I would like to point out that I am by no means a professional photographer but rather an amateur photographer who primarily photographs sunrises and sunsets from a sea kayak. The photos that you see in this review have been taken by the new PowerShot D30 and have not been digitally altered or enhanced in any way. The only alterations that have been made is to reduce and watermark the image size. I shoot entirely free hand, often with one hand outstretched and predominately in low light conditions. I do not use a tripod, filters or any other gadgets and I am often asked, ” What filter do you use? or What shutter speed do you use? My response to this is “I just point and shoot on full auto.
The Canon PowerShot D30 has a smaller and thinner body than the D20 making for a snug fit in ones hand. The easy viewing screen enables you to quickly size up your shot. One thing I enjoy about the D30 is how tough it is and its ease of use. The response time is quick and the button locations provide the user with simple operation. This is important as the majority of my shots are purely about capturing the moment at hand. The D30 has the ability to capture soft tones almost as if you are using a filter.
Magic Monday
25 Aug 2014: There was definitely a touch of magic in the sunrise this morning. It seems as though our glorious weekend’s weather has spilled over into Monday. The temperatures are starting to warm up and it won’t too long before the trees are bursting with colour. Spring is nearly here!
