Box of Tricks - Takeoff
Letter S - Multiple loops
Fusion - Takeoff

Box of Tricks - Takeoff A flash-gun (low power) was used to illuminate the kite and ground immediately before takeoff. As the shutter had been open for several seconds before the flash was triggered, the light spill from the LEDs has illuminated the ground itself.

Fusion - Takeoff As with the Box of Tricks takeoff above, the kite was flash-illuminated whilst waiting for takeoff. This time, however, the kite started an axle just as the shutter clicked off, giving the 'twisted off' look to the light-lines.
