Sunrise on Raimiti seen from a kite with a Leica M9.

We have been in Raimiti (www.raimiti.com ) for 3 or 4 days and start losing track of time, no radio, no TV, no phone, no Internet… days are made of sunrises and sunsets…

This morning, Dec 27, 2011 sunrise was at 05:12AM, not a single cloud in the sky, NE trade winds blowing steadily at 20 knots, the ideal strength to lift the autoKAP rig and the leica M9 with its 24 mm Elmarit. I was not totally satisfied with my previous sunrise with the Sony Nex 5 and thought the Leica M9 would give me the sharpness I was looking for. ISO 200, f4, 1/1500 sec, when looking the original size, the difference is stunning;

This session is one that probably gave me the most satisfaction since I started KAP a few years ago. Satisfaction with the light, the R8 flight, the subject, the ambiance, the pleasure and the results.
