I only saw it in the water when we met more than once and I pretended it was a vegie eater. Same thing I saw about Tekko's sharks too when I see them. colby Since 23 Apr 2005 613 Posts Celebrity Photographer Sat Apr 26, 08 1:10 pm    will this thread ever die?? Here's the info requested showing placement of the little sanyo xacti camera... The cam is lying flat and the viewpoint lines up directly with the leading edge seam (3rd pic). Depending on the kite, you may have air nozzles in the way so it might be easier to experiment with using the main strut as a tie point (2nd pic)...just get the camera angle the same as the first pic. We cinched the camera down using the extra tie lines that come with the Slingshot bar...and then ran them around the back of the main strut and looped it over the top of the camera (the Xacti already had a tie loop built into the camera for a water leash) - not much of an engineering feat, but it held through a few crashes with the kite. hope this helps!  a Brooklyn front yard as it should be  CSO_2150.jpg   experiment with this if the nozzles are in the way  CSO_2158 (1).jpg   after 8 attempts this is the angle that worked  CSO_2157 (2).jpg  _________________ www.WestRoots.com Last edited by colby on Mon Apr 28, 08 8:50 am; edited 1 time in total pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Sun Apr 27, 08 7:38 am     Big kite in the big city! bet you got some looks pumping it up. colby Since 23 Apr 2005 613 Posts Celebrity Photographer Sun Apr 27, 08 8:14 am     "is that a swimming pool?" was a new one, but people seem practiced in seeing the bizarre _________________ www.WestRoots.com Gman Since 11 Feb 2006 4911 Posts Portland Unstrapped Sun Apr 27, 08 9:28 pm     No Sleep till.... awesome trip - we will have to hit Manasquan when back East side! _________________ Go Deep! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2pBpQolKE trevorsmith Since 25 Apr 2005 501 Posts PDX Addicted Tue Apr 29, 08 3:26 pm     some more kite cam..yes I was bored at work today...

Really a unique look. I hope you don't mind me asking how you get that. Is it additional sharpening in post, or just mad skillz? or both?
