Of course all pictures don't turn out well at KAP, quite the reverse: The greatest share of the pictures is waste. Some are underexposed, some are blurred, some are totally crookedly, but mostly the motive isn't met correctly. I use a digital camera for my air photos so that I simply can delete the pictures. Often there is only one good picture, so a new side isn't worth-while establish for this. I would like to introduce these singles pictures here constantly.

The latest pictures are above.


Jul.03.2001: Ruhr - Oil in "Gelsenkirchen - Scholven"

Ruhr-Oil in Gelsenkirchen-Scholven
Jul.03.2001 - approx 18:10 o´clock
Kite: FF#2
Windspeed: approx. 5,5 m/s
Camera: SONY DSC-F505 Cyber-shot,
1600x1200 fine
    I always wanted to take some aerial photographs of the many towers, columns, chimneys, torches, cooling towers etc. of this chemistry work. Unfortunately, the is no good place nearby the work for KAPing. Either one can not come near enough or there are powerlines in the nearness. Therefore I have tried it from a nearby hill. Unfortunately, the distance was too great so that I haven't obtained the desired results here.

Jul.03.2001: FF#2 at the elektric power station in "Gelsenkirchen - Westerholt"

Before I made the upper picture from the Ruhr - Oil, I tried to make some aerial pictures at the power station "Westerholt". Unfortunately, there was not enough place to lift the kite. I will try it in the fall, if the fields are harvested.
The picture is no aerial picture and shows my FF#2 in front of the smoke stack of the power station.

    This is one of the first aerial-pictures I have done with my new Flow-Form # 2. After the first test flight of my new kite wasn´t good, I talked with Harald Prinzler again. This was the first flight after our talking and my modifications. After I tested the new kite for some time, I tryed to lift the rig and shoot some aerial pictures.

Aug.04.2000: Rita at the Langeoog beach

On the Langeoog island at the "Flinthörn".
I had problems with the wind here. 3 m/s are real too little to come into the air with the Rig. I had only the small Flow Form with 1.75 m² and the hexagon "Ghost Buster" whith approx the same surface. After I hade taken some pictures, the wind was calmed and nothing else was able.

Kite: FF#1

Camera: SONY DSC-F505 Cyber-shot,

Jun.22.2000: Innovationcenter Wiesenbusch, Gladbeck / Pilkington glass-factory

Innovationcenter Wiesenbusch
jun.22.2000 - approx. 17:20 o´clock
Kite: FF#1
Windspeed approx. 4,5 - 6,5 m/s
Camera: SONY DSC-F505 Cyber-shot,
1600x1200 fine
    I took this picture at my "test-meadow". Here I am testing all my new constructions. I will KAP the glass-factory and the innovationcenter again in autumn, when the corn is harvested. I am very interested about the water tower at the glass-factory and a solar-cell powerstation at the innovationcenter.

Feb.13.2000: Intersection in Feldhausen (NRW/Feldhausen)

I was surching for a good place to kap the eon-powerstation in Scholven. At this I also have dropped in for this farm. I have let my kite up on the meadow there. Unfortunately, the farmer didn't agree with that and has sworn at me and hunted me of the meadow. Everybody just doesn't have fun with KAP :-( .     Intersection in Feldhausen
Feb.13.2000 - approx. 12:30 o´clock
Kite: FF#1
Windspeed approx. 4,5 / 7,7 m/s
Camera: SONY DSC-F505 Cyber-shot,
1600x1200 fine

Jul.26.1999: Sailing yacht at the "Flinthörn", Langeoog island

Sailing yacht at the Flinthörn
Jul.26.1999, 06:00 pm
Kite: Hexagon "Ghost-Buster"
Windspeed approx.: 6,6 m/s
Camera: Olympus AF-1
Film: Fuji SUPERIA 200
    From the pictures I have made of this sailing yacht I have only this one useable. At some pictures only water can be seen, on others only half the boat. The pictures from a larger height are too small. Here you can see it is as heavy to meet the motive correctly.

Links to other KAPers and more you can find in my Surfers Guide.

I like to be available for questions, suggestions or experience exchange.

I would be very pleased about an entry in my visitor's book.
