Bristol Walk 1

 I had a spare afternoon in Bristol and went for a walk around the city centre - last visited 2012 when it was pouring with rain! Very little has changed in terms of buildings but, like many cities, the area is very much dominated by tourist trade now with lots of eating places and tourist attractions. I was using a fixed 23mm lens (X100V) so some images are stitched panoramas (horizontally or vertically) while the last image is enlarged to test the quality of the original.

Clifton Bridge

We watched this abseiler going down the side of the Clifton Gorge as a Peregrine watched him and us from the tower of the bridge. Later we saw the Peregrine further down the Gorge.

Very Wet Bristol

 We had a couple of hours to look round Bristol in the wind and rain. Reflections were the order of the day. Images were taken with the Canon G12 so not great quality as it is poor at focusing in low light and the noise is considerable at ISO 800 and above. Not the ideal low-light and night photography camera!

Bristol Clifton Bridge

Spent a rather chilly hour waiting for the light levels to be balanced - there was just about 15 minutes when the

sky was just dark enough to balance the bridge lighting.

At one point an ambulance went across the bridge with its blue light flashing.

Two other views of the bridge - it was getting a bit too dark for a balanced exposrue but woth a go.
