Hope you enjoy them as much as me (y)
 
Absolutely Stunning shots, i take my hat off to you.

a friend of mine gets ariel shots as well, but hes got vertigo so he uses a kite.
its a 6 foot box kite with around a 1000 metres of line, with a cradle to mount the digi camera on.

well done again, cracking shots.

cheers paul
 
Stunning locations there... and some stunning shots to make the best of them!

I hate to point out the obvious, but you've made that classic 'beginner' error though and got a rogue apendage in front of the lens. Mind you, a foot rather than a finger is kinda cool. ;)
 
Mad b@stard, methinks. great shots, though - especially No 3. You're a braver man than I am...
 
Excellent shots Gary. The beaches and sea look very inviting.:)
 
Lovely set again mate. Only thing is I think you need to try and get some shots of less crowded beaches. Its like Blackpool down there.
Oh and thanks for the lazy beds.

I have a G10 which I have flown under a kite but having problems with the remote. Must try to fix this.

A note to your friend. The maximum legal height for flying a kite in the UK is 500ft. 3,000 is definitely aircraft territory! That said you would need strong arms to pull that back in :D

****The maximum legal height for flying a kite in the UK is 500ft***

How is anyone to know whether the law is being broken.....I can just imagine a copper walking by with a height measuring instrument and saying "morning all, I'm arresting you as your kite is 25' over height regulations".

I guess you can go to any height.....but if it goes wrong:crying: ignorance of the law is no excuse;)
 
I'm always enthralled with your aerials, Gary. I think the picture of the house and sand is stunning. I have a hard enough time just taking photos...how do you manage to fly and photograph at the same time and live to tell about it?:LOL:
 
Fantastic, and I love your unique perspective on things (y)
 
Splendid. Dail Beag - one of my favourite places. Motivation to revisit soon.

Where was your launching site?

Just Stunning

Do live where you have photographed, if so you are a lucky man indeed.
But you must be insane to fly one of those things! :bonk:

But as I said, stunning.
