On my journey today I saw some boys playing with Kites, and decide to pull over and walk along the beach back to where I'd seen them......as I walked along the beach I looked over and saw some much bigger Kites :):

Said to meself..........forget about the kids go for the Big Boys Toys :rofl
So off I went back along the beach, back to my car, and off in the direction I could see them flying........ they look so graceful.

Had myself a lovely time......even met some folks from a camera club, who were very interested in my Canon Gear :D one older man even admitted he has to move on and stop thinking FILM FILM FILM and I said yep, but do it because you want to.

Enjoy......... Skippy (Australia)

I'm still waiting to go up with my brother or my cousin.....cause they both own Ultra Lights, they can't go up in the types of winds those guys can go in, it has to be quite calm for Ultralights to fly ....... when it happens I will be sure and post images :wink

Maybe try some shadow/highlight and curves on the last one? It's cool already and has the potential to be spectacular.

That last one's very nice. I'm thinking it has to do with the flier being in context with the earth.
