Using Kites and Balloons to Cover the Oil Spill - 06-11-2010, 01:31 PM

The pics in the article to me are quite poor in quality, I think he is going too high and not using the right lenses to really document this right, jeeze flyovers at 3000Ft are allowed so sending a kite up to 1500ft is to me too high.

Still cool.. But not much lens choice on the P&S he is using.
