YOUR Pictures Of Kites!
Great Kite Art Or Kite Photos
These pictures of kites show how the visuals contribute a lot to the pleasures of kite flying. How these creations fly, home-made or otherwise, is only half the experience for most people. Personally, I just love the process of proving, and improving, a newly constructed kite so it flies really well. As for making them pretty... HELP! That's where you come in, particularly if you are the artistic type. So, feel free to contribute here if you have a... - good-looking home-made kite photo. MBK or from any other plans.
- great photo of a shop-bought kite, or kites.
- great kite photo, where the art is in the photo itself.
What's YOUR Best Kite Picture?
This page is the place on this site for great kite photography where either...

Thinking Of Contributing? Please Read...Your fellow kite-fanatics who browse through here will really appreciate any extra info you can supply. The pictures of kites are 'the main thing' sure, but people will love it if you type in a short description of your techniques. Either for decorating the sail(s), or for getting that fantastic image. Perhaps both! Now, a couple of tips for best results... Pictures of kites straight from your camera can be uploaded successfully. However, transferring these large raw digital images can take many minutes over a slow Internet connection. Re-sizing the image to around 100Kb or so will still result in a high-quality image on a computer screen. If you haven't done this before, try using Piknik, a free photo-editing service that runs in your browser. For maximum impact on my site, a photo that's taller than it is wide works best. This way, when my site re-sizes the photo to fit the page, it will appear as large as possible.
REASONS To Contribute Pictures Of Kites- Get your fine art work and your name in front of a LOT of eye-balls! For zero cost. It does'nt matter if the art is in the kite itself, or in the photo, or both.
- Show others what can be achieved artistically, either kite-wise or photo-wise. This helps inspire us less artistically-gifted types to do better!
- There's the potential here for a real gallery of kite art. Simply enjoy browsing through the work of others. It might lead to incorporating new ideas into your own work.
Now, how's this... From time to time I will feature my favorite image on the Home Page of this website! To begin with, it will be very easy to get your image up there. If there are only a few pictures of kites, you have a very good chance after all. Also, the image will stay up on the Home Page until another one takes my fancy. It could be there for weeks or even months!
MBK Flying Skewers And Plastic is a fun publication for kite lovers. Particularly single-line fliers! This FREE monthly newsletter will help keep you in touch... There's always something new being built or flown at MBK! Your FREE COPY of a great 87-page eBook on popular kites is waiting to be downloaded. It's my way of saying 'Thank You' for subscribing.
