Kite Aerial Photography
SethJohnson writes "People have been attaching cameras to kites for quick-and-dirty aerial photographs for almost a hundred years. Hobbyists have progressed the art far beyond it's quick-and-dirty origins to produce stunning results. NASA even has a fairly detailed how-to using a disposable camera. Looks like a fun science fair project for those dads out there with kids."

Terrorists in our own backyards!! We must immediately ban kites and imprison kite owners without trial. God only knows what these religious fanatics were trying to survey before destroying. I'm glad we caught them before they actually did something. God Bless America.
...but how will all those cameras affect Charlie Brown's kite-eating tree? I'd imagine they're not too healthy.
Okay, that wasn't funny. It's late. Night night.

A pimp-daddy.
You know the pirates around here do some slave trading on the weekends. Gotta supplement the ol' VCD business in order to support that luxurious case-modder lifestyle with the $400 a month video card habit.

You mean shutter......
for the predator BTW, I wonder if anyone's attached an Hellfire to a kite?
So does Anonymous Coward have good karma?
Dads whose kids were killed by 40 pound kites with sharp metal parts attached falling out of the sky.
Did you know you can fertilize your lawn with used motor oil?
Looks like NASA has finally declassified it's old 1960's reconnaissance techniques...
To make a pun demonstrates the highest understanding of a language
don't laugh, some 3rd world countries are using this technique for air reconassance.
In modern countries, ppl are using it to spy on there neighbors. Must we wait before there is a kiteonacamera.com ? "Kites flown over hollywood celebrities residences, 100% legal. For $5.95 a month you can have 24hr aerial vision of a hollywood supermodels".
