THE LAP

Documentary featuring Lee May and Tom Reeves premieres tonight at 8pm on Youtube.

www.Youtube.com/@KelpandFern

A 75km loop around Windermere, England's largest natural lake.

I've spent the last few months editing this film and it's been quite bizarre watching torrential rain, ankle deep mud and low clouds during the current heat waves we've had in the UK.

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have working on it.

I want to thank Lee and Tom for letting me be a part of their journey and to the race itself!!

I film a handful of ultras a year as Kelp and Fern, mostly in the UK, documenting peoples journeys that otherwise wouldn't be captured and I have never felt so welcome by an event or race before in my 10+ years doing this, they couldn't have done more for me.

So a huge thanks to David the RD and everyone at The Lap for having me.

After 2.5 years of writing and a crazy few weeks working out how you publish a book, it's done.

Focus on the Trail - The Beginners Guide to Trail Running Photography

Will be published next week.

The main driver for the book was to help trail runners spend a bit more time looking and taking in the sights and sounds of the trail they love running through.

Hopefully through the guide you can learn a few small things, no matter what phone or camera you are using, that will help you appreciate more of the trail and most importantly, capture better photos of your adventures that you can look back on for a lifetime!

Here are just a handful of the photos that are used in the guide as references and next week i'll do a bigger post about what to expect in the book as well as launching a video on Youtube that will give you an insight to some of the basics of trail running photography.
