Towers convey power, and height is both literally and metaphorically connected to broader and better views – but here come kites to undermine that top-down view.
Kite photography is empowering and democratizing – increasingly inexpensive unmanned aircraft can be attached to likewise ever-cheaper, high-quality photographic devices. Kite Aerial Photography (KAP) enthusiasts like Pierre Lesage, a sampling of whose work appears here, are rapidly taking to these newer and better technologies.
Sending your camera into the sky is one thing – keeping it balanced so it takes a clean and crisp shot is quite another. Many of the latest advances thus appropriately address the issue of stability. Hence, stabilization rigs that help keep balance even with an ever-moving kite and ground controller.
The controller, in turn, has to determine how the photos-taking will unfold, via preset intervals, perhaps, or using infrared or radio controls. Of his setup, the photographer writes: “Originally this rig was made for a Canon Ixus 600, was then adapted with a video return and later adapted to welcome A Leica Dlux3.”
Until recently, taking photos from the sky meant owning (or at least renting) an airborne vehicle to carry you and your equipment aloft, then struggling through windows or other opening to take the best shot. Now, the game has changed, and almost anyone can get in on the action. Now the only thing that may get in your way is the thin kite string everything else hinges on.

Yesterday we published a post from Hailey Bartholomew with Tips for Taking Portraits that Reflect the Character and Spirit of Your Subject that gave me the theme of this weeks challenge.
Your challenge is to take and share an image on the theme of ‘Spirit’.
Feel free to approach the theme in any way that you wish – you might want to take a portrait that shows someones true spirit or you could photograph something that is ‘Spiritual’ or even photograph something that represents your spirit.
Be as creative as you’d like!
Once you’ve taken your ‘Spirit’ Photos – choose your best 1-2, upload them to your favourite photo sharing site either share a link to them even better – embed them in the comments using the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSSPIRIT to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
Also – don’t forget to check out some of the great shots posted in last weeks Curves challenge – there were some great shots submitted.

Spirit: Weekly Photography Challenge
Today we’re launching a new dPS eBook that I suspect is going to give a lot of our readers hours of fun while playing with their digital cameras.
It’s called Photo Magic: Special Effects Photography Made Easy – an eBook by Neil Creek.
As an Early Bird special you can grab it today at 25% off (just $ 15 USD).
Over the years we’ve published thousands of tutorials here on dPS – many of which are on topics like Portraiture, Landscapes, Macro and Street Photography.
However some of our most popular tutorials over the last few years have been when our authors have submitted teaching on how to do ‘trick’ or ‘special effects’ shots.
As a result, I’ve long wanted to publish an eBook on Special Effects Photography and recently asked one of our regular authors – Neil Creek – if he’d like to write it.
Neil was an obvious choice to author this eBook, he’s a Professional Photographer, experienced photography educator and he’s one of those guys who always seems to be working on a new technique for taking photos with that WOW factor.
In Photo Magic Neil walks you through 11 photography special effects. In each case he shows you a photo he’s taken and then will walk you through the steps he went through to take the shot.
This is the perfect eBook for those weekends when you’re looking for something fun to do. Tackle each technique in turn and over the coming months you’ll have some spectacular images in your portfolio and will also have learned some new skills that you can then build upon to create your own special effects.
Here’s just some of the shots Neil will walk you through taking.
Get full details on what’s included in this eBook here or order your copy at 25% off by clicking the download button below.

As I prepare to head of for Australia in just a few days to teach a PODAS workshop aboard ship on the northwest coast it seems appropriate that I publish a new article by an excellent Australian photographer, Nick Rains.
It is titled Medium Format Aerial Photography and describes his use of a Leica S2 for this work. It should be mentioned that if you find yourself in Solms, Germany during the next month, Nick has an exhibit of his aerial work at the Leica Factory Gallery.
If you’re in Sydney next week, and would like to say "Hi", you might want to visit the L&P Digital IQ2 World Tour event on Wednesday, May 29. Art Wolfe, Thomas Knoll, Kevin Raber, Peter Eastway, Tony Hewett, Alexia Sinclair, myself and other well known photographers will be there speaking as well as engaging in Q&A sessions.
