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

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
