De Wijers

They promised us beautiful weather;  So we (Frank and I) went to The Wijers to shoot some aerial pictures.  The Wijers is a unique area with more than 1000 ponds, representing about 700 ha of water and reeds.    We got hazy foggy weather, giving that typical  autumn tint to the pictures.   For the Kap friends: We had 400 meters of line on the kite...

We didn't have to much room to go up there

Kasteel Cortewalle

Not the best time of the year to make aerial pictures of this beautiful water castle in Beveren.

The Sting

Yesterday evening, I had the time to have the maiden flight of my new kite called "the sting'.   I am not sure if you have that same feeling but I see a devil in the body of the animal, you too?

More info;

The start 

Kinderdijk

If there is no wind; Even the maxi dopero couldn't stay up there to lift my camera.   The only solution I had to take at least some pictures was;   RUN RUN RUN!!!

To make these pictures, I used a camera (Canon G15) lifted at 150 meter high by a kite (strandvlieger).This technique is called Kite aerial photography (KAP). The kite is attached and secured to my body.  In this case the lifting power was produced by a red Maxi Dopero.

The camera rotates and is triggered automatically, but I can take over all functionalities from the ground.   Yes, I do see what the camera is shooting (video downlink) .

A few other places in the neighborhood worthwhile to visit:
- Paal
- Rilland
- Landscape
- Domburg
- Zierikzee

Jehay-Bodegnée Castle

Discovering the beauty of the Ardennes;   This castle is located in Amay (Liege).

To make these pictures, I used a camera (Canon G15) lifted at 150 meter high by a kite (strandvlieger). The kite is attached/and secured to my body.  In this case the lifting power was produced by a red rokkaku kite.

The camera rotates and is triggered automatically, but I can take over all functionalities from the ground.   Yes, I do see what the camera is shooting (video downlink) .
