Wakapuaka Sandflats Wildlife Reserve

I went back to Boulder Bank Drive this afternoon to try some more kite aerial photography. The light last time, on Monday, had been to scarce get any good shots looking straight down. Today was much better and the low afternoon sun really lit up the reds in the odd assortment of flora in this unique habitat. The esturay on the other side of the road also provided some nice fractal arrangements in contrasting greens, blues and greys.

Boulder Bank Drive

At the northern end of the huge esturay that is Nelson Haven, is Boulder Bank drive. On one side of the road is the esturay, on the other Wakapuaka sand flats and wildlife reserve.

This kite aerial photography session was late in the day so most of my shots looking straight down were slightly blurred, but I got a few shots with a faster shutter speed looking out towards the setting sun.

Each time I launch a kite-borne camera I take a self-portrait test shot at low altitude to check everything is turned on and connected. I must remember to smile next time, but there is quite a bit to concentrate on while taking photos via radio control and flying a kite at the same time.
