Unedited straight out of camera. The kite was suspended about 300 feet off the ground in the wind. The patterns of light are created by the camera swaying in the breeze. It was a cool experiment with better than anticipated results.

Behind The Lens

Location

From a kite about 400 feet above Albuquerque NM

Time

The wind was strong and the kite wasn't safe to bring down when the sun had set. I had to leave it in the air until the wind had calmed and I found this cool surprise on the camera. A mistake that has taken me about 4 years to be able to replicate.

Lighting

All natural city lights. Just the amazing effect of long exposure lights.

Equipment

A simple canon point and shoot camera with chdk running on it.

Inspiration

I love aerial photography

Editing

None just right out the camera

In my camera bag

For the aerial photography I have my kite and my canon point and shoot.

Feedback

Best of luck and don't be afraid to try out new stuff.
