Kite photos: Croyde
Oct. 20th, 2008 12:28 amI hooked up with the Bristol massive down at Croyde today. It was messy and blown out, so we took some photos, making this the first successful flight of my v2.0 KAP rig. I've tweaked some of the better "sand sand and more sand" shots that made the cut as they're pretty funky Nazca and "scale-less patterns ov thee Earth" examples. Click any to go to the Flickr set:

The flight highlighted some changes needed to the rig - a broader cross and pulleys, mostly. Fit a drogue to prevent penduluming. This set were shot with fast-exposure, autofocus. I think next time I'll go with infinite focus and let exposure sort itself out. Might be sharper.
