Lol!<br /><br />I did think about drone s but A. Can't afford one. B. I'd end up ditching it C. You haven't met SWMBO so A isn't going to happen and if by some miracle it did, B would get parts of my anatomy removed with rusty scissors and a plumbers blow torch....so probably its best I go with a picavet. It wil be difficult enough convincing her that I need a 1.5m powers led Parafoil. I might just swing it on the grounds that I am starting up an aerial photography club at school ......but I suspect she will see through it<br /><br />You and your lovely family have a great Christmas too. May your holiday be filled with joy.<br />Take care now<br />Steve stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06932550661580632605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263863416874538973.post-87849777972944186382015-12-21T03:32:43.173+00:002015-12-21T03:32:43.173+00:00Lol!

Gosh Steve, after reading your post I'm not sure if I should feel flattered or a bit sinister hahah (evil laugh)!<br /><br />I too am contemplating some aerial kite photography this Spring. It will be my first chance to play with a Picavet as well.<br /><br />Then again, the proper way to film a Navigator from above would with a remote control drone, as was done here:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUjz7vXTaNI<br /><br />Lovely, eh?<br /><br />Perhaps we can compare our aerial vids next spring? I still have some Blue Man Group scores for mine, on my BMG CD that I have not used yet. Which reminds me, I'm overdue for a trip to Las Vegas to see their new show.<br /><br />Cheers my friend! And have a wonderful Holiday.<br />-JoelJoel Bergenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368971898993662883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263863416874538973.post-83735704039970415652015-12-18T16:58:35.009+00:002015-12-18T16:58:35.009+00:00Hey Alden.

The skipper wrote a few articles that appeared in Wooden Boat magazine - one of these was all about the use of a kite and camera that he flew to take photos of his boat - I thought the photos pretty impressive - perhaps do a general Google search or search Wooden Boat and see it the articles available.Alden Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601028197387499096noreply@blogger.com
