tree aerial photography in Yosemite National Park
In Yosemite Valley and 30 seconds into my first flight the wind got funny, I chose to run upwind. Bad idea. The camera is caught in a tree, and I don't yet know it. Jeffries pine trees in Yosemite grow about 200' tall. This is about 100' up. The camera and rig were recovered with great effort and I am in compliance with federal law. Remember, "Take only photographs and leave only footprints". Camera hung from a tree, after being lifted by kite, yosemite july 2008 042 plus (Medium)
