 Environmental
activist Ken Adelman with his Nikon D1X, Robinson R-44 Helicopter and
an Apple PowerBook is taking thousands of photographs of the California
coastline. His images are being used to identify illegal seawalls and
for other environmental uses. So far he's taken 7,000 images, and expects
this to rise to 10,000 when he's completed the entire coastline. All of
the images are available on his website californiacoastline.org. "The
camera is linked with a cable to the helicopter's global positioning system,
and to an Apple Power Book laptop. Every three seconds, he snaps a picture,
and the exact longitude, latitude and altitude are recorded."
