Have you ever wondered what it's like to see some of Northern Ireland's most famous scenery through the eyes of a bird?

Well, now's your chance.

A Northern Ireland-based photographer has compiled a collection of thousands of images he has taken with a unique kite contraption that captures stunning images from up to 200ft.

Ciaran May has been using the device for the past four years and explained to Belfast Live, that while he runs it as a business, it truly is a 'labour of love'.

He has photographed thousands of images across most of the counties in Ireland and reckons that he's one of less than a hundred who do this worldwide.

In order to get the stunning images, Ciaran attaches the camera to the kite, flies it into the air - and controls it from a remote control.

"People love it," he said.

"It evokes childhood memories - they may have flown a kite, or they may have wished they could fly a kite.

"It's hugely evocative, and it's always a positive reaction."

Ciaran said he is able to capture a unique image every time he launches his camera in to the sky.

"The camera has never been there before and that's a very humbling experience," he continued.

"And I'm aware of that every time I do it, what I'm producing here has never been seen before."
