My first aerial photography shots (mid 2001)

 

   

This is one of our flying sites.
The camera is a Kodak EZ-200, low cost 640x480.

It is mounted under the fuselage, pointing straight down.

 

Home base with two .40 trainers
waiting.

Doors open, bonnets up!

 

 

 

 

This is a plant nursery nearby.
The eastern-most hangar is just
visible on the left side of the pic.

 

A little more left than the previous shot.
Sorry about the tilt, but I lost quality when I tried to rotate it.

We pulled the nose up for this one, and it fell off to the left.
It's always nice when other flyers drop in!

The pics were taken from the Senior Telemaster. The camera is now mounted obliquely on the side of the fuselage, and a video camera to help aim it. More pics soon!

Here is the camera/video mounting plate with the Kodak on the left, and the pcb video camera in its mounting box.

The servo which triggers the Kodak camera is between the two cameras, with its lead through the front hole. The plate is hinged, and can be lowered to be horizontal for vertical viewing.
