Most of my kite aerial photography has been near where I live in Southern Maryland. An hour and a half away is Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, which is the site of a large bridge crossing the Chesapeake Bay. There is also a public park (called Sandy Point State Park) with a large beach closeContinue reading “Success on the Second Attempt at Annapolis Bay Bridge”

Calvert Cliffs in Morning Light
For only my second KAP session of the year, I got just the right conditions to head back to Calvert Cliffs. (The first KAP session unfortunately ended with no pictures because I forgot to turn on the camera before launching it into the sky — woops!) Calvert Cliffs is a really beautiful place in SouthernContinue reading “Calvert Cliffs in Morning Light”
Point Lookout Fishing Pier
This past weekend I headed back to Point Lookout for some more KAP. The main mission was to get another picture to put on my wall. I’ve recently printed out several of my favorite landscape photographs, including two KAP shots, and hung them, but, as you can see, I have an open spot for oneContinue reading “Point Lookout Fishing Pier”
Low and High KAP at Flag Ponds Nature Park
Flag Ponds Nature Park is a place with hiking trails, ponds, and a large beach in Calvert County, Maryland. The beach is wide open and features an observation deck and large tide pools with interesting shapes. I brought my kite and radio-controlled KAP rig to do some aerial photography. There was a reasonably steady northContinue reading “Low and High KAP at Flag Ponds Nature Park”
A Row of Posts in the Chesapeake
Last year I did some KAP at Elm’s Beach Park, a beach on the Chesapeake Bay. One of the subjects was an interesting row of posts out in the water. I couldn’t get as close to it as I wanted at that time, though, and I also decided it looks better in a vertical (akaContinue reading “A Row of Posts in the Chesapeake”
Radio-Controlled KAP at Point Lookout
It was spring, and we were finally starting to get some nice weather after a long winter. Late one afternoon, I headed to Point Lookout, MD to take advantage of some wind and hopefully nice lighting for aerial pictures of the lighthouse. The wind was stronger than I expected, but it was well within theContinue reading “Radio-Controlled KAP at Point Lookout”
Point Lookout Lighthouse
The weather has not cooperated with my schedule to do much KAP lately. Today, the forecast was overcast with a chance of rain all day, but there was finally some wind in a direction suitable for taking aerial photos of the Point Lookout Lighthouse, so I decided to head over there and see what wouldContinue reading “Point Lookout Lighthouse”
Fishing Pier at Point Lookout
It’s been a while since my last KAP session. The wind has been pretty calm during these last couple months of summer, and between that and my schedule, I haven’t had any chances for KAP. Finally, this weekend, there was some decent wind, and it was blowing from the southwest, just the right direction forContinue reading “Fishing Pier at Point Lookout”
A Beach on the Chesapeake
Today I returned to Elm’s Beach Park, a beach on the Chesapeake Bay in Southern Maryland. The objective was to get some pictures of this location in the summer, since the last time I went was in the winter, and also get some different angles. The wind was from the southeast, which put the kiteContinue reading “A Beach on the Chesapeake”
Calvert Cliffs
Calvert Cliffs State Park: a place I’ve been meaning to go since I first came to Southern Maryland for an interview more than six years ago. I finally went there for the first time last Friday, June 18, when I came along with my daughter for a school trip. The site has a small beachContinue reading “Calvert Cliffs”
