Kite Aerial Photography Demonstration at Riverfest

‘Round the Point – Pinhey’s Point Historic Site, Dunrobin, Ontario.

I’ll be doing a Kite Aerial Photography demonstration at the Riverfest celebration this Sunday at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site just west of Ottawa. I will have an exhibit tent where I will show equipment, explain technique, answer questions and display prints and photo greeting cards of both aerial and non-aerial photography. If the weather and wind cooperate, I may also have the opportunity to fly a kite to lift the camera equipment and thereby round off the demonstration. No guarantees on this but we can hope for a good day.

This would also be a good opportunity to view my ongoing exhibit “History in the Wind” in the Pinhey’s Point Historic Site museum. Here I display framed prints of a selection of my aerial images of the site taken over the past few years. The exhibit commenced on June 17 and runs through to September 2 (Wednesdays to Sundays).

There is a host of other things happening at Riverfest on Sunday. For more information visit:
