First, thanks to Anne for her article... very interesting.

I always wanted to do photography fro a rocket, but never did. Photos
fro kites sounds very exciting, but I definitely want to go into it
well prepared. 

I didn't see Flow Forms mentioned for lifting. How do they perform?

So how did you solve the camear motion and blurring 
problems? 

Thanks,

Same method as described in the original long article.    Hand the camera

Secondly, since I was taking the pictures by radio control (tripping the
shutter this way), I was watching the kite, and only took pictures when I
could see the camera was steady.
