Rewilding a Tamed Wilderness: People vs. Ljubljana Marshes - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia
There was nothing. There was no ‘there’ there. A hundred and fifty square kilometers of void. To be fair, only one species of animal thought that; millions of others were quite happily enjoying this purported “void,” thank you very much. And even the detractors once lived smack in the middle of it, back when it ... Read more

The First Relaxed Kite Flying of the Year!? - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia
No way! Yes, way … This year has been decidedly odd (and the weather has, for the most part, shown a marked aversion to kites). It’s March already, and we have managed exactly one (1) kite aerial photography session and this single, blissfully relaxed kite-flying outing – our grand total for the year so far. ... Read more
A Glorious Day - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia
So, Caly the wiener dog had an appointment with a hairdresser. Since it takes a lot of time to further beautify the already beautiful wire-haired dachshund, Janez had some time on his hands – it was a windy late afternoon, and Ljubljana Marshes were calling. He went to the place called Ižanske toplice – “the ... Read more
Sometimes a kite aerial photo seems dull ... Wrong camera settings? Lack of post-processing skills? Is it the old adage - dull weather, dull photos?
Perhaps.
But, at least to us, the real question is - is there really such a thing as a "dull" kite aerial photo? 😉

When the skies are grey ... - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia
This is written, at list partially, in response to a question Paul Burton posted in a kite aerial photography group: “(…) taking pictures on auto seems ok in bright light but a little less good in dull cloudy situations. Can anyone recommend some settings for better pictures in the low light, many thanks …” There ... Read more
A Warm and Windy November Sunday - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia
Such a perfect day … Ivor is frantically collecting kites to “increase our fleet”, and as six new items have arrived, a test was necessary. Luckily the Sunday was sunny, unusually warm for November, and windy. Very windy. A new trilobite joined our purple one in the sky. A shoal of fish lined themselves along ... Read more
The Old Guy in the Sky - KAP JASA - KITE TEAM SLOVENIA
It wasn’t much of a KAP session… and we were back at the location we had flown over so many times before that we could make a fairly long movie just using the photos as frames. But this time was different – the old guy was back in the sky! This venerable blue Rokkaku was ... Read more
A Flight Over the Crow's Nest - KAP JASA - KITE TEAM SLOVENIA
We’ve been doing kite aerial photography for over six years and, with the exception of a dog, a herd of cows, and some horses, we’ve never caught an animal – even when we fly in areas where wildlife is supposed to be prevalent. Last weekend, however … The Ljubljana Marshes, our favorite and most frequented ... Read more
Earth, Wind, and ... Water - KAP JASA - KITE TEAM SLOVENIA
The rains of Spring and Autumn regularly overwhelm the drainage capacity of the rivers on Ljubljana Marshes. Ljubljanica and other rivers and streams swell up and overflow, and the groundwater level rises until it’s above the ground. Huge areas get underwater, and serious lakes form. There is even a long-standing quarrel among Slovenian geographers: are ... Read more
