KAPing!

So I’ve recently been getting into kite flying (kiting), specifically taking photos from kites, a practice known as Kite Aerial Photography (KAP).  On a low budget.  So… with the following items:

• Mini Keychain DVR recorder (idea from kipkay):  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G5KOU6
• X-Kites Skyfoil Parafoil Kite:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MVIN2E
• A picavet cross:  http://www.kaper.us/basics/BASICS_picavet.html
• Some masking tape
• A mountain (made of trash)

I have managed to produce videos  like this:

Help! Over here! I’m down here!

(More media from 70 feet in the air after the break!)




As well as capture the following images from said videos:

Some of these images are ghosted because for some reason, when I captured them from the video with Vegas Pro, it ghosted one frame over another?  Strange.
Needless to say, the quality and resolution of this media leaves much more to be wanted, and since the wind was rather calm today, I could only use the mini spy DVR keychain camera, instead of my Canon powershot.  Hopefully I’ll find time to try that sometime!
In other news, my fishtank!
