Soothing Sunday

22 Sept 2013: I’m not going to rant and rave how stunning it was or how the water soooooo perfect that you couldn’t tell which way was really up and how the morning transformation took me on a visual journey that was so soothing. I’ll let the photostory do exactly that.

Mirror Sunday

15 Sept 2013: I sliced my way through super glassy waters for a massive 4 hour session this morning. It was so nice to glide my way into the wetlands for a very relaxed start to the day. After returning back to the east basin I decided to paddle my down through the main basin to Spring bank Island as the conditions were so smooth. Yet again there wasn’t any need for speed at all, especially on a Sunday.

Super Dooper Mega WOW

31 August 2013: That was one of the most mind blowing gorgeous, stunning, brilliant, vivid, amazing, glorious, fantastic (and as many other great words you can use) sunrise. Super wow, mega wow come close to describing the impact that had on me. I am truly blessed to be able to experience something like this. My Canon PowerShot D20 was working overtime this morning capturing a superb send off to winter. I hope you enjoy the shots from this morning as much I do.

Chalk and Cheese

What a wonderful weekend it has been and I couldn’t have had two totally different mornings. This is why Lake Burley Griffin continues to blow me away, each day it continually serves me up something new. My pocket rocket Canon PowerShot D20 was working overtime!

Saturday morning's tones were sublime.

Mid week chance

7 August 2013: It was so nice to be back out on the water and take in a liquid gold sunrise. There was lots of activity on and about the lake this morning as plenty of people were enjoying the calm conditions after the last few turbulent days of weather. There is a cold change forecasted for tomorrow so hopefully I’ll be able to snap shot a few icicles. I hope you enjoy the todays sunrises.

Sunday Spectacular

28-July 2013: Unbelievable! Vivid reds and vibrant oranges lit up the morning skies to produce one of the best sunrises that I have seen for a while. But it didn’t stop there, then the morning transformed into an amazing light spectrum that constantly wowed me for the entire that I was out there. The glassy waters of Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra were the perfect accompaniment and at times it felt like I was slicing through the clouds. The photos just don’t do it justice and as note, none of my  photo’s are digitally enhanced at all, this makes it even more amazing.

Sunrise + Sand + Newcastle = Fantastic trip down memory lane

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.

Newcastle Brilliance

16 July 2013: This morning I was dodging Coal Tankers and being cast around by two foot bow waves from passing Tug Boats as I was being treated to a stunning golden lightshow on Newcastle Harbour.  I had a beautiful three hour morning session that started from Newcastle Mariner through to Nobby’s Head and back. What a great way to start the day. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed capturing them!

Out on the water for an early start.

Simply Stunning

30 June 2013: Simply Stunning is the only way I can descried my experience on Lake Burley Griffin this morning. Everything was perfect from the moment I set out, the misty pre-dawn soft tones developed into a stunning morning. I know I keep saying it, but this was such beautiful transition. I’m not going to caption anything, instead I would like you to enjoy the  photo story that I have put together from this morning’s lovely light show. I’m such a lucky person to be able to experience something so beautiful.
