This one is almost straight vertical above the angel.
We studied maps, tides, weather forecasts as we wanted to shoot a
vertical wide angle image right above the Angel on top of the Mont St
Michel.
The Angel (Michel Angel) raises at 157 meters (520 feet), and the idea
was to bring the kite and camera right above it. This was my first VHF
radio assisted autoKAP session... with Heidy radio-guiding me on the
other side of the Mont. (almost as efficient as a video link!)
The Ricoh GX 200 was attached 100 meters (300 feet) below the Dan
Leigh Delta R8 to get some “clean” air, most of the shots were made
from 15 to 50 meters (50 to 150 feet) above the angel and I had close
to 400 meters (1300 feet) of line out. Thanks to Emmanuel (alias
Maneke) for his assistance!
