Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

has anyone played around with Kites or balloons for aerial pictures? http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/03/scenes_from_30000_meters_above.html (a pretty hard core example ;) )

One of the guys I know attaches a compact to his kite when he's out kitesurfing from time to time. I know someone who murdered a 30D doing it though.

I've seen some pics from a setup like on the net; that they were pretty cool. I don't think mounting it to the top of the windsurfing rig would have the same impact (4ish meters high) might be worth a look.

Here's the projects flickr page:

Looks like it wouldn't be too difficult to do but in Ireland the distance it would travel might mean retrieving it from France\UK or worse the sea! Would be an interesting project to try in the middle of a desert or similar though!
