THE WORLD, VIEWED FROM A KITE

Welcome to the website of aerial photography enthusiasts, taking photos from the air in a natural, organic and gluten-free way: with a kite.

Patterns

Sometimes altitude isn't everything ... Koseze pond; Tivoli, Rožnik, and Šiška hill landscape park; Ljubljana; Slovenia. Canon A810 on the Rok. A cornfield near Zalog, Ljubljana, Slovenia. Canon A810 on the Royal69.

Urban KAP - Mostec

Koseze and Mostec neighborhoods of Ljubljana, and Koseze pond (part of Tivoli, Rožnik hill and Šiška hill Landscape Park) with a family of swans, barely visible from this altitude. Canon A810 on a 2 m Rokakku kite.

Nikon on a 69 sled

Ljubljanica river near Podpeč; Sveta Ana hill on the right. . Royal 69 sled, Nikon 1 J1.

Top shit

A truly top shit photo. You are looking into the giant excess sludge (i.e. shit) processing part of Ljubljana central waste water treatment plant in Zalog :-) Canon A810 on Royal 69 sled.

Leskovec - fields of grain

The unpredictable yet gentle movement is a really cool feature of kite photography ... The camera just feels - and follows - the wind ... :-)

Cows on marshes

Some cows on Ljubljana Marshes nature reserve, completely oblivious to our 200 cm Rokakku soaring high above them, Shot with Canon A810.

KAP JASA TEAM

KAP Jasa stands for Kite Aerial Photography - Janez and Saša. An ingenious name, isn't it?

Janez is the chief pilot, kite designer and maker, photographer and DTP wizard.

Saša is a co-pilot, know-it-all wannabe, pulisher, writer and editor.

We started KAP Jasa in July 2017, some months after the first try of taking pictures with a mobile phone taped to a stunt kite went rather awry. Our first true KAP kite was a 200 cm blue Rokkaku Dako, drawn ands sewn by Janez, and so delicately made it can lift a compact camera in a 5 km/h breeze. A 160 cm Royal 69 Sled followed, suitable for stronger winds, and a 333 cm Great White Delta is the latest addition. All kites are made by Janez on his venerable Ruža sewing machine.

Those kites carry various photo and video equipment: a Braun Jumper II and a Denver 5020TWC action cameras for video, and a Canon A810 compact camera and a Nikon 1 J1 mirrorless camera for stills.
