KAP Shot over Kettlestoune Mains (Linlithgow Bridge)
A quick set of tests using a new Canon S110, to replace my faulty S100. I have used CHDK using the KAP_UAV 3.1 script on MF mode and the results are rather good for a small compact. The site is just over from where I live and was a gravel quarry (possibly a new hosuing scheme for the future) for many years before being turned into a public recreation (well canines are brought here to relieve themselves) and nature area below. This particular area is seen as the area of the "Battle of Linlithgow Bridge" in 1526. The Battle of Linlithgow Bridge was fought on 4th September 1526 between the Earls of Angus and Lennox, the latter attempting to remove the young King James V from the power of the Douglases. Lennox, with his army arrived at Linlithgow Bridge, to find it so well guarded by artillery that he was forced to ford a difficult part of the River Avon, near Manuel Priory. The Battle was fought between there and the Bridge, the Lennox party being totally defeated. Supposedly stone cists where found here containing bodies. There relation to the battle is unknown.
The wind stream was generally low with the odd gust on the day. The rig and camera performed quite well.
