Yesterday I loaded up my bike with my kite aerial photography gear and set off to find something windy and photogenic. Although it had been blowing every afternoon during the past week, Saturday was relativly clam. The fickle wind was coming and going rather unpredictibly, which is exactly what you don't want when dangling a camera from the kite line. Had a lovely bike ride though. It was nice to be riding with no particular place to be and all day to get there. I snapped a few ground based shots along the way. It was one of those days with the bluest sky and whitest clouds that kept moving and changing the light. A photographers sky.
The load on the bike consisted of the KAP rig, RC controller, 2 KAP kites, 3 cameras, 1 tripod, 1 stunt kite, and rain gear.
The 16 square foot sutton flowform did finally lift a camera at the end of the day. The clouds had closed in and there was a breif SE blow hard enough for me to loft my Canon EOS film camera over the Boulder Bank. The light was a little low but it will be interesting to see what I got when the film is processed.
