Swimming platform at Kastrup

This photograph and most of the others I have posted on Photo.net are taken from kite-lofted cameras. A kite, unseen in the image, supports a small, radio-controlled cradle that holds the camera. I can position the camera by walking around and/or letting out or retrieving kite line. I aim the camera and fire its shutter using the radio while I stay at the ground end of the kite line. The camera can rotate through the compass, tilt from horizon to nadir, and change from portrait to landscape format.I compose my images by watching the camera and imagining what it would see. The whole process entertains me to no end.

While I have a view of this structure that shows the entire circular

shape, it is this tightly framed version that sings to me. As I

photograph from the kite the image framing is inexact and

serendipitous since I am lining things up mentally. I find the

imprecision often has charm and yields images quite different than

what I would frame were I with the camera. Does this one work for you?

Works for me. I think your capture is quite interesting but would have preferred seeing more image and less frame. All the white space around the photo overwhelms the subject matter. Assuming you have to resolution to present this full-frame, I would.

 

Thanks for sharing ~
