Kite Aerial Photography

I had come across the aerial photography of much acclaimed photographer, Yann Arthus Bertrand, whose aerial shots are splendid. I was simply amazed at seeing pictures from the aerial perspective – pictures which had aesthetic and creative sense. However, in this video it is interesting to see a new dimension to aerial photography using kites. Prof. Charles C. Benton, a professor of architecture at UC Berkeley says that aerial photography using kites give a very unique perspective from about 100 to 200 ft which is difficult to achieve using choppers or planes. Check out this video to get a peek on his interesting pictures and a feel of his passion.
