(2010-10-10) | Beautifully captured Hamish - is that a rare sighting of the kite pilot, far right? | h fenton
(2010-10-10) | You must have some good eyesight PAB, I often appear in aerial photos, I have flown the camera a couple of hundred times this year, most places are not applicable to the Megalithic Portal so it is only occasionally that you will see me flying the kite.
At this location I am fairly restricted to as to where I can fly from - the site and the farm track. so that basically means that I have to fly the with the camera either looking straight back down the kite line or slightly to one side - as you see here. looking back down the line with the camera it is slightly easier to judge from the ground where the camera is actually pointing. | PAB
(2010-10-10) | Thanks Hamish - it was the kite line that I had noticed. Can I ask roughly how many images you will have taken at this site to get this gem? | h fenton
(2010-10-11) | I took 98 images over the course of 16 minutes and I left the kite+camera in the air while I had a wander around the site taking a few ground based photos.
98 images in total
26 show the whole site (which was what I was wanting) - ten of these I am pleased with.
22 are from when I was walking around the site and bringing the kite down.
18 further pictures from sending the kite up and bringing down to check exposure/composition.
the rest of the pictures where from when the camera was in the air and not on target/swinging around.
A particular difficulty with flying at this location was because the sun was so low in the sky and the camera is shooting towards the sun - lens flare is a problem on many of the images. On this particular image there is a little bit of flare, but unless I point out where it is you are unlikely to notice it.
Experience and being able to visualise what the camera should be seeing probably counts for a fair part of getting this photograph. | h fenton
(2010-10-11) | The image above has been cropped very slightly, but what you see is pretty much the full frame. | PAB
(2010-10-11) | Thanks for the information Hamish - and I have problems just getting a kite to fly at all! |
