HOW-TO: Take digital photos from a kite
Here’s part 2 of a article showing how to take photos from a kite.
Not sure I want to go fiddling with my camera to add a chip to it! Maybe my ancient 1.3MP cmaera though..
Catching the Sprat
Every year the mackerel come in close to shore chasing the sprat the feed on. Further up the food chain, fishermen around Cork Harbour have a boom time in August feeding on the mackerel.
As the mackerel chase the sprat the sprat desperately jump out of the water with their predators following closely. This results in “breaks” as the water foams and explodes with the annual chase!
This picture was taken last night in Kinsale where a large group of men, women and children were enjoying the fishing and the spectacle.
