Greg Wedeking

Austin, TX

I was able to combine my hobbies for this shot. This is a friend of mine flying a new power kite I bought myself for Christmas.

To give you some idea, this kite is 9 feet in length and is 100 feet away in this picture. In strong winds, I've had it drag me around a bit. It can get pretty exciting.

Olympus C-2100UZ
1/500s f/8.0 at 8.0mm iso136 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Wonderful slice of life shot! The perspective makes me feel like I'm flying the kite. Along with the beautiful sky and lens effect it really draws and holds me while I feel the story it's telling.

Greg, I love the perspective in this shot.

Nice one Greg!
I really like the way the lens flare sort of echoes the colours of the kite.
