I spent half a day at the Kingswood Outdoor Centre in Hexham and photographed a variety of activities for their publicity and web site use. I love this kind of photography. It's the chance to be involved with what is happening as the quiet observer and recorder. The children has a fabulous time. They were challenged and stretched an their expressions say it all. Kingswood were very pleased with the photos supplied and have added my details to their information pack to schools as their recommended photographer. I also obtained my CRB through Kingswood so I am cleared to work with children in all situations.

I watched this girl climb a telegraph pole, stand on the top of it and then jump out into space to catch a trapeze bar. She was so brave I didn't think I would have the courage to do it myself. The glint in her eyes when she got down is full of her achievement.

This was a new piece of equipment in which the children are hoisted as high as possible and then the swing drops. Eek. I took some very funny photos of the kinds of expressions this produced but it wouldn't be fair to show them here.

Team work is just as important as individual achievements.
