KAP 2015-9 – Karen’s Place

Karen’s hobby farm. The main buildings and paddocks.

My sister, Karen, purchased a home/hobby farm in the country near Spencerville, Ontario this year. Karen owns one horse and currently boards 3 more.

After another long break from Kite Aerial Photography, again due to back issues, I went to my sister’s place for Thanksgiving and decided it was time to get out the kite gear. Having had back surgery this summer it was with some caution that I approached this task. I had my niece, Stephanie, by my side so I could hand over if I needed to. She also helped with setting up the kite and holding the line while I mounted the camera rig. Things went well as far as my back was concerned with squatting to assemble the kite being the most difficult task. It was a gusty day and there were tall trees in the direction I was flying. A few nose-dives had me sweating while taking flight recovery measures. The camera was swinging to and fro but in spite of this I came away with a few good images of Karen’s property.

Seven of my Pinhey’s Point photographs selected by Getty Images

Over a 2 year period I was preparing a series of aerial images of Pinhey’s Point (near Ottawa) for an exhibit in the Pinhey’s Point museum last summer. One morning last spring I arrived and the wind was flat and the sky was overcast. I waited but a predicted change in weather didn’t happen. So much for believing the weather forecast. It was so still that the reflections in the Ottawa River were amazing. Fortunately I usually travel with both aerial gear and tripod gear so I switched mental gears. Seven of the images I took that morning were selected by Getty Images for exclusive licensing and they are now included in their catalogue. Here are a few of them.

KAP 2009-25 – Wilson Lane near Fairfield, Idaho – August 20, 2009

Aerial photograph of an abandoned schoolhouse or church in Idaho.

These images are from a Kite Aerial Photography session conducted two years ago as I toured across the United States.

In Idaho I met with PokyTom (Flickr name for Tom Gautier) and we camped, KAPped and photographed our way through the Sawtooth National Recreation Area in the heart of Idaho.

I quickly put a few of the images on Flickr at that time (either while on the road or just when I got home, I can’t remember) to share with my KAPper connections in the Flickr KAP group. I had never created a gallery on my website until now. I have also added some more of the better images from the day.

These are images from my third successful KAP. This set took place near an old schoolhouse or church (not sure which), off Hwy 20 (Wilson Lane) about 5 miles west of Fairfield, Idaho.

These shots were taken with a camera suspended below a kite line (Kite Aerial Photography – KAP).
