Aerial Photography is something that many people would love to be able to do but find is out of their budget. One more affordable way to go about it is to try some Kite Aerial Photography (KAP).
The 61 images in this post are all arial shots taken by strapping a camera to a kite to elevate it. It’s not something for the faint of heart as you are putting your camera at risk but the results can be pretty amazing in the right setting.
Getting up high with your camera attached to a kite gives a fresh perspective on a scene and can highlight patterns, textures and shadows that might not be evident to anyone at ground level.
Don’t just duct tape your camera to your kite though – most serious kite aerial photographers use purpose built rigging to get their shots like these:
There’s a heap of information on KAP online – Google it and you’ll be sure to find some great advice. Now back to some great Kite Aerial Photography images – Enjoy!

Linder1
Image by MTAPhotos
The completion of the work to rehabilitate seven stations along the D Line in Brooklyn was marked on August 2, 2012, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by MTA leaders and local elected officials.
We installed great new artwork at each of the seven stations. Here are details for the artwork shown in this image and its location.
71st Street Station –
Artist: Joan Linder
Title: The Flora of Bensonhurst
Date: 2012
Medium: Laminated glass
Location: Platform windscreens
Fabricator: Tom Patti Design
Joan Linder’s artwork will provide an elegant and dynamic tribute to the natural landscape in Bensonhurst. Linder’s proposal presents drawings of flora taken from the actual wild vegetation from the streets and lots in the neighborhood. These botanical images also flow in the direction of the train as the visual indication of departure and arrival. The work will be installed in the windows above the stairways that can be seen from the platform and the street level. In the medium of glass, the work will be aided by the strong light available to this particular station.

The Carnegie Arts Center, Covington, Kentucky
Image by elycefeliz
The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center is a multidisciplinary arts venue for all ages which provides events, educational programs, and art exhibitions to the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati community. The Carnegie facility reflects its threefold nature: within its 17,000 square foot facility are The Carnegie Galleries, crowned by a landmark Beaux Arts dome; the magnificent, newly renovated Otto M. Budig Theatre; and the newer Eva G. Farris Education center. The Carnegie is the largest arts venue in Northern Kentucky.
The Carnegie was established in 1972 in a former Carnegie Library which originally was constructed in 1902. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places. Saved from the wrecking ball by local residents during the 1970s, The Carnegie has grown from a grassroots arts alliance into a major venue in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region. It is an Associate Member of the Fine Arts Fund and receives funding from the Kentucky Humanities Council, from local businesses and corporations, from individuals, and private foundation grants.
Located at 1028 Scott Boulevard, The Carnegie public library and adjoining auditorium were built in 1904 for a grand total of ,000 with funds given to the city of Covington by Andrew Carnegie.
The interior of the original library building is made up of two floors, connected by ornately carved dual winding staircases. A circular balcony and open rotunda overlook the main floor underneath an impressive amber glass dome.

As photographers, the highest compliment we can be paid is to have someone pay us for our vision and creativity. For some, this means becoming wedding or portrait photographers, getting paid per event or session. But what about those of us who enjoy shooting landscapes, or wildlife? Subjects that aren’t often paid for in advance? Aspiring photographers are often told they should try selling their work, but are unsure where to start. It’s relatively easy to set up a website, but getting potential customers there can be difficult. So how do you get your work seen? What are the options? Here are five tips to getting started.
This allows you to get customers when you aren’t otherwise selling your work. The secret here is to go with a web presence that will allow you to be found when others don’t even know they are looking for you. I use FineArtAmerica.com to host my website. The beauty here is that all of my work gets entered into their database. I keyword my images, so they appear in pertinent searches by people who’ve come to the site looking for art to purchase. Visitors who know of me can use my own URL, but my guess is that few, if any of my sales actually have come from people visiting my personal URL. There are other websites out there- Zazzle.com and RedBubble.comare two others.
I will admit I know very little about how they operate, so do some research before you commit to any of these websites. One of the beautiful things about the online presence is that it can work with the other outlets I mention below. It will allow you offer other sizes and products, such as canvas prints, that you may not keep in stock at an art show or be displaying in a gallery. It allows someone who saw you at a show, but wasn’t prepared to purchase, place that order a day, a week, or a month later. With any of these sites, depending on how quick you are to upload your work, you can be selling within hours.
This image of a local point of interest on Long Island, NY would do well in a local restaurant, cafe, or art show but would probably not garner interest in a more national setting.
There are opportunities to sell your work everywhere. That coffee shop on the corner. That new restaurant down the block. Many local banks will occasionally show local artists’ work. The local library will as well. Prepare a portfolio and ask who to speak with at the establishment.
Be prepared to have your images printed, matted, and framed. Work with the establishment to set up guidelines, commissions, and payment for the images. The best images for this kind of use are images of local landmarks that compliment the restaurant, or images that work well with the restaurant or establishment’s theme.
Contact the gallery owners for their guidelines and ask how they like to review new submissions. I’ve found they all seem to work a little differently. Some galleries will charge a membership fee, or a rental fee for space. Most will have specific requirements for digital files, and commission structure will vary- the usual range is from 40%-60%
These can be tricky, because you never know what kinds of buyers will show up. It’s best to avoid shows that may be more crafty than artsy, but you’ll have to evaluate each show on it’s own merits. These are a good way to get your feet wet, as they tend to have low entry fees and less stringent requirements, but at the same time, you don’t get the kind of buyer who is necessary looking for fine art and is willing to pay top dollar for it.
Local shows, like local eateries, tend to look for more local art. My first show I showed up with lots of images from around the country in my travels. The stuff that got the most interest was all stuff local to where I lived. You’ll want to have a variety of sizes, with most images matted and a few framed images. While the larger images look great, it’s generally the smaller sizes that will sell better.
I have not ventured into this arena yet but have researched it thoroughly. Sunshine Artist Magazine(subscription required) is pretty much the definitive resource for these larger art fairs. Each fair is different, with artists required to apply and be accepted into the show. Application fees can be in the hundreds of dollars and apply to your booth fee if accepted. The applications are generally accepted months in advance, so planning is required.
There are requirements for your booth layout as well. Nothing about these shows is just thrown together at the last minute. It is virtually a full time job to do such fairs, so be prepared for a commitment. It is an expensive proposition as well. You must have a stockpile of prints, framed and unframed, as well as a way to display them. Several artists I know well have spent well over $ 1000 just on displays. That said, they can be lucrative as there are many who do make a good portion of their income doing such shows.
An image of a national park or other nationally known landmark will have broader appeal.
As I mentioned, it’s incredibly gratifying when someone is so taken with your work that they actually pay for it. There are various outlets for you to get started in selling your work. All it takes is some commitment, and some time to get started. Remember, ultimately,

Selling Your Images As Art: 5 Tips To Getting Started
Bringing imaging magic to Adobe® Photoshop® CS6 software, the acclaimed Content-Aware family of tools lets you retouch or recompose images with astonishing ease, control, and speed. One of the newest of these intelligent editing tools, Content-Aware Patch, was just introduced in Photoshop CS6.
What is Content-Aware Patch?
Content-Aware Patch is designed for times when you want to remove unwanted content from a photo and then replace it with a precise and seamless patch. The tool automatically creates the patch for you, but only after you’ve shown it exactly which area of your image you’d like it to sample from.
And it uses Content-Aware technology to blend the patch into the surrounding area.
Patching challenges
The Content-Aware Fill option introduced in Photoshop CS5 is a great choice when you want to remove unwanted content from an image. Once you’ve deleted your selected content, it can analyze the surrounding pixels and then fill the space with content that matches those pixels. In some cases, though, Content-Aware Fill doesn’t return the desired results. For example, it can fill the space with poorly matched content if the area surrounding the deleted content lacks consistency or a discernible pattern.
How does Content-Aware Patch solve the problem?
Content-Aware Patch gives you superior results by letting you determine the area it will sample from to create your patch. For example, if you want to remove an object from a tight row of similar objects, you can tell Content-Aware Patch to sample from a nearby background area to create a precise and natural-looking patch.
Retouch with greater precision
Content-Aware Patch gives you a fast and easy way to perfect your images. Simply delete the content you don’t want, direct the tool to the patch material you think will work best, and then watch as it uses Content-Aware technology to magically create a stunning result.
