So is it Heritage or Culture? For hundreds of years this was an operational military base and as such it would have had its own culture and life. Soldiers lived and fought here from the 15th Century right up till the First World War. By this stage the castle was less strategically important but was instead used as a store for munitions—hence the "modern" pier.

After this the castle became a monument to the past and after a short time of disuse became a visitor attraction, hence it changed from being part of the community with its military culture to become part of the past, part of our heritage.

If you want to understand today's culture maybe you need to understand the past and where things came from first.

more Kite Aerial Photography and Remote Control Photography
Equipment
4 GoPro HERO2 cameras, with a prototype camera cradle/rig, triggered by 4 gentWIRE camera syncronisers. Suspended below a Dan Leigh R8 Cruiser kite with 6ft/2m span.

This technique produces two hemispheres, and a different workflow in PTGui from the classic ground pano technique. This results in extra effort BUT impossible angles!

See the rig, how Kite Aerial Photography is achieved, and the workflow.
