Llandysul River Festival 2011 - 18 to 21 August

and Div 3/4 slalom

I was commissioned by Llandysul Paddlers Outdoor Education Centre to act as Official Photographer for the event last year and the year before. They have again invited me back. My objective is not to get a photo of every one doing every thing, but to compile a collection of all aspects of the event for Llandysul Paddlers to use in future promotions, marketing and grant applications. This web page and the photo albums also sets out the story in pictures rather than words of how the event unfolds.

The event was very successful and enjoyable with over 150 participants, 25 coaches & helpers and countless volunteers, family and friends. The Div 3/4 slalom competition saw an impressive 150 competitors take part with over 50 Div 4 K1M and 22 Div 4 K1W. The youngest Div 4 K1M paddler was Freddie Rickards, aged 4 from Seren Dwr who completed the course.

The slalom event was one of the longest I have been to with first runs at 11.30am and prize giving finishing at 8.00pm, so congratulations to all those behind the event making it happen.

The River Festival is still the best value event that I know about.

I've split the event photographs into a total of 12 photo albums to make your search a little easier, rather than having to wade though over 950 images. So scroll down the page until you find an album that interests you. Each album opens in a new window.

If you have any decent, comparable or better still better photos that you want to share then send them to me and I'll host them for a fuller picture of the River Festival. Copyright will remain with you and the photos will be watermarked accordingly. I will only upload at a max of 800x800 pixels.

The next River Festival is 16th to 19th August 2012. I'll see you there.

Thursday on the lake (105 images)

All images are Copyright © www.geoffallen.org.uk and may not be reproduced in any format without the express permission of Geoff Allen.  For copyright protection, all screen versions of the images have visible watermarking.

All images are from an original source file of 3872x2592 in jpeg format. They are posted at a maximum size of 800x800.  

Most images will print up to A1 size at least, that is poster size - see an original high quality image here. Some on the river had to be taken using a high ISO to get a fast shutter speed which makes them more grainy - see a sample here - which will still give a good quality print at 15" x 10", but I wouldn't want to go up to A1 size as it would be to grainy.

If you want to purchase a digital image, then please contact me to discuss. I will need the digital image file name(s) DSC_???? and the album it is in.

Prices for the River Festival are £5 per image to a max of 3 images emailed.

Four or more images burnt to a cd and posted are £4 per image plus £5 postage and packing.

If you are a scout group and want many images then email the file names DSC_???? and we can do a deal.

If you are new to my website and have been to the River Festival before then photos from 2010 and 2009 are here and here.

Whilst all digital images from the photo galleries will be sold without copyright water marking, copyright remains with Geoff Allen.  Images are sold on the basis that they will only be used for personal and family use.
