Looking for a new running book suggestion?

Look no further! Focus on the Trail

You can buy it online at https://www.kelpandfern.com/book

If you take photos out on the trail of the beautiful wild experiences you're having, then this book should help you think about how to take better photos when you're out.

As an independent film-maker, the sales of the book directly fund and support all future documentaries that I work on.

I couldn't bring to life the stories that I do without the support of everyone here and the beauty of it is that I get to make films and share stories that otherwise wouldn't get told.

So if you're looking for a new running book this year, why not give Focus on the Trail a look.

Just head to https://www.kelpandfern.com/book to order.

For all those that have already bought the book, thank you so much for the support, it means so much!!!

Focus on the Trail - The Beginner's Guide to Trail Running Photography is now PUBLISHED!

You can get your hands on the eBook or Paperback here https://amzn.eu/d/18IiRVj

My aim with this book, help trail runners, mountain runners and ultra marathoners slow down, enjoy the natural world that little bit more and hopefully help them take better photos of their adventures on this wonderful magic planet we all share.

I share 70+ of my own photographs i've taken on my own adventures and walk you through the basics of landscape, nature and photographing trail runners on the trail so you can hopefully take better photos of your adventures, your friends and what you see around you.

Here are some of those photos from the book which I use in specific examples throughout.

I believe this book is the first of its kind, aimed at trail runners and those that move through environments lightly and swiftly.

I want to thank so many people, events, the trail itself as this book otherwise would not have been possible.

Rachel, my wife, the most kindest and adventurous human. You have helped in so many ways to get this book out and I dedicate the book to you.

To all those i've shared the trail with, those that have supported my work with Kelp and Fern, i've met some beautiful people out there on the trail and I thank you all for those special moments.

Diolch pawb!

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.

FOCUS ON THE TRAIL - A Beginners Guide to Trail Running Photography

COMING SOON at www.kelpandfern.com

This is the culmination of 20 years as a photographer and 2.5 years to put the book together and I could not be more thrilled to share this news with everyone.

If you take photos when out trail running and want to improve your skills and take better photos, this book is for you!

I will be putting the pre-order live in the coming weeks, but for now you can subscribe to the newsletter at www.kelpandfern.com to get the release date sent straight to your inbox.

The idea for this book came from my own journey. Bringing a camera with me on most of my runs has not only improved my photography but has also deepened my overall enjoyment of trail running. It’s helped me slow down and truly appreciate the natural world, and that has become the driving force behind writing this book, to focus on the trail.

As you bring your camera onto the trail, you’ll start noticing more, the flowers lining the path, the insects moving beneath your feet, the intricate details of nature that make up the world around you. This awareness makes every run richer and more meaningful.

That’s why I’ve written this book, to inspire you to take a step back, focus on the trail for what it is, and emerge with both improved photography skills and a greater appreciation for the environment. Together, we’ll capture the magic of the trails and the wonders they have to offer.

The turning point on yesterdays 2 hour trail run on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, just a lovely couple of hours with Otter.

Spent 30 minutes filming to add to a video talking about this years releases as well as some non-documentary projects i've been working, in some cases, for over 2 years.

They won't be merch or products that you might think, these are brand new innovative creations made specifically for trail and ultra runners and they ask less of the world and question whether the industry is doing enough #forthetrail

Super excited and nervous at the same time and more updates about these coming out in the next week leading up to the video release were I explain more.
