8/28    Hi, anybody printed a photo image to a big plotter?  Something like
        36"x36"?  I'm wondering how many megapixels the image need to
        have in order for the print to "look good".  There is a rule of
        thumb?  Like 6 megapixel is good for X size print.  10 megapixel
        is good for Y size print.  Thanks.
        \_ You don't need that many more megapixels for much bigger prints,

9/28    A lot of photos I take come out blurry. A lot of them are clear,
        too, but the proportion of blurry photos is high. This has led me
        to take more photos than I otherwise would in hopes of getting a
        clear one. I took some photos of the Rio grande and they
        were all awesome, but the next day I took photos of landscapes
        and almost all of them were blurry. Could it be the camera or is

Beginning in 1996 I began what will probably be a multi-year project of shooting the lair of the bear from the air. We are blessed with a photogenic campus that I find entertaining to photograph. The kids and I have learned the techniques of kite aerial photography by wandering around Berkeley and flying here and there. These pages present bird's eye views of Berkeley captured in such outings. The city (as we call it) is a great place to visit and we make it over there around once a week. These pages will chronicle my ongoing KAP exploration of the city. GIF POINT RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA Point Richmond is a quirky little community with a vivid history that runs from vice and land speculation a century ago to industry at mid-century to residential development and sailing today. I've accrued quite a few images during my Sunday trips to Pt. The headlands are covered with old military installations. An easy drive from Berkeley, they are a frequent destination for Sunday afternoon picnics. Also included are other sites within the GGNRA including Mt. Over the last twelve years we've averaged over a dozen trips to Pt. When I was first musing about kite aerial photography an ongoing documentation of the Pt. GIF EUROPE During the summer of 2000, Claudia, the boys, and I accompanied a dozen undergraduate architecture students from UC Berkeley on travels through Berlin and Paris. The Bentons four then continued to Chinon, France and a bit of Normandy. In 2001, Claudia and I made a similar trip to London and Oxford with a preliminary stay in Lyme Regis on the coast of the English Channel. Since that trip I have found several opportunities to travel with my KAP gear. I guess almost any endeavor offers its miscellaneous items. In this case it is photographs ranging from craked mud textures to a WWII biplane. I'm beginning to work on traveling with the kite and camera gear. The wind was failing while the light improved and this made for an interesting time. I would be on the verge of taking an image when a lull would hit (you could see them coming across the water) and all attention would have to be given to the kite. The possibility of seeing my rig hit the salt water was sufficiently real that I threw in the towel after taking three frames. The map set zooms down through five different scales to provide detail where appropriate. Since most of my kite images are from the San Francisco Bay Area, I've assembled a set of maps showing the approximate location of each gallery page. A good place to start is the 204 top-level map of the Bay Area. All content, graphics and images contained throughout are Copyright 1995 - 2003 by Charles C.
