Sunrise No. 365 – Fantastic Finale

Posted on December 31, 2013 by kayakcameraman

31 Dec 2013: Serenity and simplicity would describe Mother Natures final day to 2013. The golden tones and the crashing tunes of the ocean were a brilliant combo to farewell the year. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey so far. I look forward to sharing more photos with you in 2014 and wish you all a safe and happy new year.

100 photos for a 100 years of Canberra

Posted on December 24, 2013 by kayakcameraman

I thought it only fitting to compile a 100 shots as a tribute to the Centenary of Canberra. I’ve had a fantastic year being mesmerised by so many gorgeous sunrises and I am continually amazed at how LBG constantly treats me to a wonderful natural lightshow each and every paddling session. Canberra should be known as the ‘Sunrise Capital of Australia’. The four seasons have been superb. One minute you are paddling through pea soup fog, the next you’re being wowed by amazing pastels tones, or being dazzled by brilliant golden hues, the variety is extensive. I found it extremely hard to select the final 100 as I have snapped over 30,000 photos this year. That would have to be a life time of sunrises in one year- how lucky I am!

I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and I hope that you have an enjoyable holiday break.

Thanks for your support and I look forward to seeing and hearing from you all in the new year.

Posted on December 20, 2013 by kayakcameraman

20 Dec 2013: Super Dooper Mega Wow! What a fantastic farewell to the week and for many, the working year as Mother Nature turned on a stunning display again this morning. I’m heading off today for a few weeks in search of rivers, estuaries, point breaks and the golden sands of the mid north coast. Keep an eye out as I’ll be loading a tribute to 2013 next week.

All the signs were there that it was going to be another stunner.

Tuesday Delight

Posted on December 17, 2013 by kayakcameraman

17 Dec 2013: The full moon was high in the dawn sky as I cast off for 4.45am, the winds were light, the tones were excellent and yet again the ‘Red Chilli’ was slicing its way through glassy waters. Terrific Tuesday is here and what a beautiful morning it was out there on LGB.The warmer weather has arrived and this was evident as there were plenty people out and about making the most of these gorgeous conditions. It’s shaping up to be an absolute cracker of a day here in CBR, I hope you get the chance to get outside today and enjoy it.

4.53am: Swan and a full moon are a great stating combination.

Optical Feast

Posted on November 21, 2013 by kayakcameraman

21 Nov 2013: What and optical feast the sunrise was this morning. I am continually blown away by the amount of beautiful sunrises and sunsets that Canberra continually produces. Every day has its own unique signature, one day I’ll be floating amongst the mist, the next morning I’ll be treated to gorgeous golden tones with pastels pinks to west. Then to top it all off you are gob smacked with sunrise like the one this morning where at one stage it looked as if liquid lava was floating on the surface.

Sunrise and Silhouttes = Smiles

Posted on November 7, 2013 by kayakcameraman

7 Nov 2013: This morning I was treated to a gorgeous sunrise and stunning silhouettes. I ventured over the mouth of the Jerrabomberra Wetlands and caught a the sunrise with ‘Pedro’ and his Squadron. Soon after that the members from The “Capital Lakes Rowing Club” were getting ready for their morning rowing session on LBG. Then to top it all of I decided to drift my way through the Kingston Foreshore developed. I don’t think it will be too long before the Kingston Foreshore will be alive and buzzing, I’m looking forward to grabbing a table, sitting back on the pier and enjoying the view. It’s going to be another beautiful day here in Canberra so I hope that you get outside and enjoy the sunshine. Have a great day!

Maria River Magic

Posted on October 6, 2013 by kayakcameraman

6 OCT 2013: All I could hear was the glug of my paddle slicing through the glass waters and a multitude of birds in full song as I casually meandered my way on the Maria River this morning. I am working my way home ever so slowly and I just wish I had another few days ( more like weeks really!) to reunite myself this this stunning region. This is just a taste, as I will be back up here camping in twelve weeks time for our annual Christmas Holidays. So much see, so much to do!
