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.
