What is "kite aerial photography"?
Kite aerial photography (KAP) is a method of capturing photographs from the air using a camera attached to a kite. The kite is flown high above the ground, and the camera, mounted on the kite or its line, takes pictures from the elevated vantage point. This technique allows for wide and high-angle views of landscapes or events without the need for expensive equipment like drones or aircraft. It is often used in photography and surveying to obtain unique overhead perspectives and detailed images from above.
