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.
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.
July 2013: It was like pea soup out there this morning with the visibility getting down to a few metres. Lucky I know my way around or you could find yourself going round in circles. You have to have you wits about you when the conditions are like this, as you have to be extremely aware of the sculls. They row 10 deep from the embankment and move with lighting speed. The last thing you want to do is be T-boned by a scud scull that suddenly appears from the fog.
11 July 2013: I was totally moooved by this morning’s misty conditions. I certainly love how a heavy fog can cast a different perspective on things.
10 July 2013: This afternoon I was treated to an afternoon of mirrored waters and a stunning sunset. It so nice to be able to catch a sunset for once and Nina a good friend of mind summed it up perfectly, “Blurred lines between sunrise and sunset. Between morning and night. The start of a new day or the end of a day already lived. They almost look the same. You’ve captured both in this one shot with the whole day hovering somewhere in between. Fantastic!”
8 July 2013: I know that I keep saying it, but there it truly no better way to start the day. It’s amazing how you become immersed in natures natural light show. It provides me best headspace and I always return back so calm and at peace. I hope you like this morning’s photos.
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.
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.
