James Gentles GM4WZP made a very welcome return to the LRS on 26th October to present Aerial Photography. In James’s last talk, on 23 January 2013, he described Kite Aerial Photography (click for report). Technology has advanced greatly in just 3 years, with drones now available to provide much greater flexibility and capability. This report consists of shots of the many cameras he has used and some of the beautiful photographs he has taken that would be virtually impossible by any other means.

Although aerial photography was possible for many years using film cameras, it was the advent of digital photography which greatly increased its flexibility. This is Eastman Kodak inventor Steve Sasson with his first prototype digital camera from 1975.
