This week’s Photo Challenge is From Above.
Kayak sailing in Long Island Sound, NY, in August 2007. The camera was mounted at the top of the mast.

Great series! I got vertigo going through the slide show quickly. Great images — like looking at pinwheels. This is a kayak with a sail? Are there any “normal” photos of it? Wonderful color in these as well. Great post!

Wow — it looked so much bigger from above. Very cool looking contraption — looks like you could go to Bermuda! (Or Fire Island at least)

Wow, what an interesting view “from above” on your kayak. :-)

Actually a bit serendipitous—there weren’t that many other places to safely and permanently mount a camera…

It was! But more of a wide-angle lens would have been nice to show a bit more of the scenery around—mostly water, of course, but still…

This is probably a very silly question…..but it keeps buzzing around my head….how did you get the camera to shoot when you wanted? Or was it just clicking away automatically?
LikeLike
It was set to take photos automatically every 10 minutes… no other way to do this, really.

Great shots. I was relieved to hear there wasn’t a person up there taking those pictures (as was the boat, I imagine.) :-)
