Click to return to the main KAP page...Kite Aerial Photography
from a Pole?

"Oh no! Another page with hundreds of pictures..." Well, hopefully not. The object is not to tell you my life story, but to show you what KAP - or PAP - can achieve. For windless days, tight spots, or unusual angles a pole can be employed to hold the camera rather than a kite. Although only 20-30ft long this can sometimes be just what's required for that unusual angle.
