Aerial Kite Photography
Aerial Kite Photography Flash Tour

Put simply, aerial kite photography is the creation of a photograph with a camera on a kite or suspended from a kite line.

Aerial kite photography employs a video transmitter on the camera that sends an image to an LCD on the ground, which is used to determine the best time to capture an image remotely using a radio control. Advanced camera setups, like the one used here, can also use radio controls to pan and tilt the camera.

Launch the Aerial Kite Photography Online Tour (995Kb SWF). Please note, Adobe Flash is required to view the tour and is available free online.

Did You Know?
Some groups of Shoshone Indians, who adapted to a mountain existence, chose not to acquire the horse. These included the Sheep Eaters, or Tukudika, who used dogs to transport food, hides, and other provisions. The Sheep Eaters lived in many locations in Yellowstone.
