Sunrise KAPOW

Posted on December 19, 2013 by kayakcameraman

19 Dec 2013: Mother Nature unleashed an absolute stunner this morning! It was truly gorgeous: the conditions were super smooth with superb tones to the east. Then the sunrise went into overdrive. I didn’t expect it to be that good to be honest. I watched the pink glow forming on the horizon thinking that it will be a nice sunrise and then…. KAPOW. That sunrise will be etched in my mind for some time. I hope that you enjoy the shots as much as I enjoy taking them.

It’s 5.04am and I’m slicing through pastel waters.

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.

Fantastic Friday

13 Dec 2013: Pastel strobes beamed through the skies creating a unique natural light show this morning. The tones were sublime and the reflections once again were excellent.
How good is this place! I began with mirrored reflections on the Molonglo River, wowed by pastel beams, paddled through the Kingston Foreshore gauntlet and then finished off with drift into the wetlands. Truly amazing, it was a great way to end the working week.

Balloons + Sunrise = Great Perspective

Posted on December 12, 2013 by kayakcameraman

12 Dec 2013: I was in total cruise mode on LBG this morning as I paddled my way through the main basin enjoying the great reflections and the beginning of a new day. Initially I had the entire lake to myself but it wasn’t too long before I was saying hello to the ever happy dragonboaters or dodging the flying sculls and to top it all off I finished the morning chasing the Questacon balloon. Now that’s a very cool way to start the day!

Gob Smacker of a Sunrise

Posted on December 4, 2013 by kayakcameraman

4 Dec 2013: Today’s sunrise was gob smacking beautiful! I could tell that it was going to be a stunner from the moment I cast off at 4.50am. The morning tones were sublime with the eastern skyline evolving from soft purple pastels to a burst of gorgeous gold. Chances are that if you are out and about in the early hours of the morning you will experience something special.

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!
