- Unfortunately, I'm of no use when it comes to techniques, cameras, etc.
- However, I would like to relate that some of the most interesting aerial
- photos I've seen were taken from a camera attached to a stack of Revolutions!
- The camera was of professional caliber and had the ability to shoot a series
- of pictures at a pre-determined rate. The flyer just maneuvered the Revs
- and hoped to get good pictures. This is not a _great_ method because most
- variables are left to chance. The pictures that were worth saving, though,
- were incredible.
