Notes on Kite Aerial Photography: Photo Gallery
Views from above the north tower. On the left you can see the uppermost roof
of the tower and, on the right, is a view from above the tower toward the
department's new quarters at the Hearst Field Annex (Canon 24-mm, May
2000)
Images
on this page where taken on a late Friday afternoon after a fine sea breeze arrived.
The Sutton 30 flew quite well in the freshening breeze and lifted the camera
nicely over the Wurster tower. What a fine way this was to end the work week. I
was assisted by colleague Nezar AlSayyad.
These are shots from around 150 feet above ground level. On the left is a shot down toward the tower while the righthand shot shows the Faculty Club with Minor Hall in the foreground (Canon 24-mm, May 2000)
On
the left is a Wurster Hall roofscape. On the right the camera was hovering just
in front of the tower's western face. This was one of those great flying
circumstances where the shadow of the camera rig on the building provided
location clues (Canon,
15-mm left, 24-mm right, May 2000)
