Bob T Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Took this one on the 15th July and thought I should share it.[IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q259/bikesindordogne/Pictures%20from%20the%20air/beynacs.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekJ Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 A great shot Bob and I envy you the very unique viewpoint you had.[B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Thanks Derek. I can't claim all the glory though, my wife got a new camera for her birthday this year and now we have hundreds of pictures like that. All I do is pilot the microlight and point it where she tells me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekJ Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 SWMBO eh Bob! I know the feeling [:D]btw, we ended up buying not too far away from you... a little south of Labastide Murat. Perhaps we can meet up on the bikes when I get around to bringing the GS over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Chris Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Very nice. Do you do requests? I'm sure some of us would like some aerial shots of our various properties...Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 What a great idea, that really does sound like a nice little earner.[:)] I too would love one after renovations, that is at this rate if I'm still around on this earth.[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob T Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 I have taken a few pictures of peoples houses for them, but not to earn money, just for the fun of it - and given the pictures away.Problem is finding the house if I have not been there in the first place, and flying over at the correct time of day to get good light. This also needs to be done from about 1000 feet during the week as I don't like messing with the French air force.I have loads of pictures of small towns from the air, they are all local though. If anyone is in the bar/cafe in Plazac (24580), then ask to see the air photos as I have deposited a few in there for people to photocopy or scan.I have to get around to buying a new laser colour printer that works with Linux so that I can print some more.

Callie Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 If you fancy a trip up to Maine et Loire, there's a nice little aerodrome at Saumur ! And I can probably guarantee you enough customers to make it worth your while, Bob ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thanks Callie, but to be honest I don't really want a job! The flying is for fun and I would not want to have to think about disappointing people with a photo that was not very good. Here is another nice one:[IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q259/bikesindordogne/Pictures%20from%20the%20air/weather.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Fab photo. I know what you mean, Bob. The moment your hobby becomes a job, it goes through a sea change. When you speak of bikes - do you mean the push type or the moto type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Bob,Lovely as your pictures are, there's not enough money in the world that would make me go up there ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I second that, Clair. I'd much rather look at the gorgeous photographs ! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Callie, I mean motorbikes.I admit that loads of people say that they would not go "up there", but since 96 when I started flying microlights, I have flown about 120 people and I tell every one of them that they just have to tell me and I'll land immediately after take off if they want. I have never been asked to do that though.Here are the bikes[IMG]http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q259/bikesindordogne/new1100s001.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
