Fall 2007 AP [ Gallery Index ]     

These were taken on October 21st and 22nd at 4 locations around Trumansburg, NY and Taughannock Falls State Park, on Cayuga Lake in the NY Fingerlakes region. All photos by Maxim Paperno.

Taken using a small (54" wing span) remote-controlled airplane carrying a Pentax Optio S5z camera with remote shutter activation, picture preview, and tilt position. The images are large (1200px wide) but will scale down to fit on your screen if necessary (this may reduce image quality).

Here is a 6-minute video from the same flights. It was a bit bumpy up there, so just turn it off if you start getting nauseous :-)
