Forty Foot Point tall pole cam

My hobby Pole Cam , how I got those bird's-eye views before I flew kites.

And here's a link to a fellow in Scotland who uses a pole
when the wind isn't right for a kite; Pole aerial photgraphy in Scotland. 2005

I recently heard from Mike S. and here is the link to his Pole Photography Gallery pictures. He has a commercially made pole and remote electronic equipment to aim the camera.

I just started my Kite Aerial Photography in 2005.

From the ground, I've been taking pictures of trains and industrial topics for 30 years.
About 20 years ago I made a pole to raise the camera to 22 feet above the ground. There are some nice views from up there.
I hope to improve on that with KAP (kite aerial photography).
As I get some really good pictures, I will add them to my pages.

My kite costs very little in comparison to an airplane ride. I work at lower heights than they do, and can work a lot closer to the subject. When the wind is steady, the camera 'hover' time is great.

.

From the many web sites I've found, I would guess there are maybe 1500 people around the world doing KAP.
I don't have multi-language pages like some people do.
I'lI have to make up for that by using pictures.

My home is near Stevens POINT in the state of Wisconsin in the U.S.A.
My area has a lot of variety;
there are flat sand plains, cranberry bogs, glacial hills and mounds, one mountain, and the Wisconsin River.
And a few hours away to the west is the Mississippi River, and Lake Michigan to the east.

I have the next 30 years to create some scenic aerial views.

This is only a hobby for me.
A few other people in my state do KAP; one is in Green Bay, the other is in Madison, both 90 miles away. And in the Twin Cities is a very accomplished KAPer, I've seen his pictures on the web.
