MAKE video poscast: make a kite arial photography rig

MAKE sez:

For this weekend project, I’ve made a Kite Arial Photography Rig (KAP). This was one of those projects that require remaking multiple times to get it so that it would fly. I started with a VEX robotics kit and then had to make lots of changes to make it lighter. Watch the video to learn more! For more instructions, please read the instructional post.

Aerial pinhole photography!

This one’s via Dennis at Captured Starlight, who writes:

Daniel G’s work continues to amaze and surprise me. Daniel has long been into aerial photography using RC model planes (with small digital cameras controlled from the ground with servos). More recently, Daniel has taken up pinhole photography (some of his previous projects have been posted here previously). All along I’ve secretly been hoping that Daniel would combine his two hobbies and make an aerial pinhole camera. Well, Daniel took me up on my offer of a free pinhole and used it to make exactly that. The results are astonishing!
