More KAP Experiments – Photomerge

Nice breeze this afternoon, so I gathered the kite and KAP rig, found a colleague – Kevin Pipkin (Professor, Mathematics and all-around good guy) – and headed down to the wetlands to fly, this time with the GoPro, set to whatever the medium (as opposed to wide) angle setting is called.

Terrific wind, about at what I imagine to be the limit for the 9′ delta, and the kite pulled like a champ.  We gathered quite a few images, and a short video as well.

Back at the desk, I thought I’d give Adobe Photoshop’s Photomerge feature a shot, using the “Collage” option.  Here’s the result:

Though it’s a little sketchy out at the margins, it’s actually not bad for a hands-off process.
