The BBC has a gallery of photos from India: A Kite's Eye View, Nicolas Chorier's book of aerial photographs taken using a camera attached to a kite. Some info:

Chorier uses a Canon 5D camera, and the whole rig on the kite weighs about 2kg, depending on the lens and extra battery. The cradle with the camera operates by remote control and can achieve a 360-degree rotation and 90-degree tilt. An air-to-ground video link provides real-time monitoring on a portable TV for accurate framing.

And in case picture #4 reminds you of another aerial photo, here's a link to a page about Illusions of Arabia, the famous image by George Steinmetz.
