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.

Wildlife encounters from Norway are one of the main reasons we went on an adventure in to the Arctic Circle and one of the main reasons I love trail and mountain running, the natural world!!

They have more than a third of their entire landmass devoted to native woodlands and almost three quarters of Norway are made up of natural habitats.

First photo, potentially dunlin? If you know, please comment.

So great to see such species, natural habitats and biodiversity with very little in the way of animal farming, refreshing comparing it to Wales and the rest of the UK which is having huge environmental and biodiversity issues and is a bio desert in comparison, ranking one of the worst in the world for their biodiversity.

You can see all these wildlife encounters in the video on Youtube.

Beginning of February will see the next video to youtube.com/@KelpandFern

Silent Running Arctic Norway.

Here is a shot of myself and Otter making our way slowly up The Queens Route on Flakstad in Lofoten, Norway as autumn was turning in to winter.

Can you spot us slowly making our way up on the left with the ocean and a majestic scene making up the backdrop to the right.

This year the biggest aim for the channel is to be as consistent as possible and to move more towards my beliefs of environmentalism and what we can do for the trail and natural world we all love so much.

With the aim of releasing a video or documentary on the 1st of each month. I already have a few jobs lined up and documentaries to work on as well as a few personal projects to be released that i have been working on and off for up to 2 years in some cases.

I will be guiding the channel and its content more towards the trail and what we can do for it in our day to day lives, this will be called Project Trail and I will be releasing a video about this in the coming weeks highlighting the projects i'll be releasing and promoting how we can do more for the trail as I find the industry and this nature hobby moves more towards consumerism and anti-environmental practices.

If you're still reading, thanks and I can't wait to share what i've been working on throughout the year!

Welp, didn't measure my distance and I'm too lazy to check it on OSM, but I'm pretty sure I ran at least a half marathon today, maybe more. I know that a 15k on a track usually takes me around 1.5 hours, and I ran about 3-ish hours, so it was probably in the 30k range. 🤔
The route took me through the flood zone forest next to the Maros, so I got to see some cool nature, and lots of doggos.
