In full power, flying low. Taken at night, using the flash and a lovely stormy sky to create the mood and drama!

Myself and some camera club members recently photographed Steven flying his kites.

Forget about kites old style - flimsy paper, one line and a tail, the new style is EXTREME. Aero dynamicas, carbon fibre frames and lightweight materials result in super fast speed, and very precise movement.

We had some excellent fun.

Stormy, cloudy skies. Twisting and turning.

The sun set behind the stormy clouds, creating a dramatic backdrop to the kite and its lines.

We had some excellent fun trying to shoot these guys, who's hobby may rival ours in fanatacism!!!
