Kite Cam Photos
Regulars to Caithness.org will know that we have often featured the
great wind opportunities that exist in Caithness for kite flying.
Grant Golding who has been to Caithness many times with his kites has
now taken up photography using kites and some of the results will be
shown here.
This new section will show just how
practical kite flying can be with occasional additions of photos taken
in Caithness with a camera suspended from a kite to get pictures that
would only otherwise be possible from a plane or a helicopter.
Obviously a kite is much cheaper proposition.
Details of the kit required etc will
be added for those folk interested. Whilst it is not straightforward to
set up and you require to have some skill at kite flying essentially
anyone could do it. The basic equipment consists of - kite,
digital camera, rig to hold the camera and remote controller similar to
remote controls for flying model planes.
So if you see a kite in the sky it
might just be taking photos for the web site.
What It Looks Like From The Rig
Another short film to show what it looks like from the camera rig
floating under the kite.

Elaine & Grant's Photostream
Includes several kite cam photos from Caithness among several pages.
Wick From North School
Wick
Here are some views of Wick taken from out past March Road looking over
the cemetery and the new shopping complex opened in 2006. Photos 2, 3
and 4 show where the infrastructure for a new housing development by M M
Miller has been going in for the past year. New homes will
shortly begin construction on the site. You can easily see that
the landscape in Wick is definitely changing fast.
Yarrows Broch
 These
unusual views from above help you see the layout of the broch somewhat
better than our previous photos taken from ground level. |
