One of the leading runners during Batrace 2025 in Cape Town. In the background you can see the rest of the field coming down Devil's Peak.

Shot from a tripod with a Canon EF 24-105. A long 20s exposure to capture the runner's headlight through the whole viewfield, but also to allow for light trails on the mountain. The mountain on the right gets straylight from floodlights installed on Table Mountain. I used an f-stop around f8 to allow both the fore ground and parts of the background to be in focus.

Lions Head (669m) getting some light during the 2025 edition of Batrun in Cape Town.

Shot from a tripod with a Canon EF 24-105 mm lens. Multiple merged 30s exposures to capture the light trails from the runners' headlights and moving stars. The mountain itself is illuminated by the Cape Town CBD. Shot at f8 because I wanted to make sure to have enough DoF for the mountain terrain.

This is Paul Youd, an 87 year old vegan ultra-runner that I had the honour of documenting his latest ultra-marathon adventure, 50km around the city of Bath!

You read that right, 87 years old, VEGAN and smashing ultras!

He was supported by @runningonplants and their team and everyone made it to the finish line, inspired by Paul and his story! Make sure to check out their wonderful organisation.

A film will be in the works of this adventure to watch at www.youtube.com/@kelpandfern in the coming weeks and you'll learn more about Paul and why he went vegan and how he got in to running later on in life.

Stories like this are supported by members and small donations from people like you and I am proud that Kelp and Fern is not sponsored or supported by brands which means that I can document stories exactly like this, which otherwise wouldn't happen.

Please consider supporting at ko-fi.com/kelpandfern on Patreon.com/kelpandfern or becoming a member on the Youtube channel.
