Bird's Eye View from the Bungie Basket :

Hanging on by a thread : a Stunt Panorama : Sanyi, one of our photographers is also a stuntman. We have been shooting aerial panoramas of Sziget Festival for some years using kites and poles, but this is the first time one of us actually hung themselves upside down at twenty meters, in order to take a series of aerial phoographs with the precision required to assemble thos into a seemless panoramic image. Behold the result - a stunning overview of what constitutes pretty much the geographic center of Sziget Festival 2009.

KAP - View over the Traveling Fun Fair : This is my honest-to-god first-ever panorama taken with a camera suspended from a kite. The camera is remote controlled so it can be rotated and "fired" from the ground.

The African Village from Above : For the past couple of years I brought a kite and gear to get a camera up to great heights. I still have the kite with me, but its use is very wind-related. This year I also brought a giant monopod, so I can get a camera up to 6 meters above the ground without launching a kite...

KAP - View over the Main Stage area : There's wind that blows, and wind that sucks....

After a couple of days biting my tongue, there seemed to be enough wind to get my kite up. Unfortunately it wasn't really wind, but turbulence instead. So I did not get my kite up very high... Even so, this panorama was taken by suspending my camera from a kite!
