Air 2 Clifton Suspension Bridge (at a distance)!

[twickers14]

Popped my MA2 up yesterday afternoon. Generally dull and flat (as befits nearly the shortest day of the year) so added a touch of light to the top just to make it a bit more viewable. To get the shot had to sidle over the Avon Gorge, virtually to the other side, a touch nerve racking but she flew beautifully.

What camera settings did you use? T

Very embarrassing-I used Auto! I find I have so much on my mind I can’t think to play with the settings and also I am not great on what settings for what conditions. I rely quite a lot on post prod and use Luminar4. Get on with it really well.

I've never seen a tower of the bridge reflected in the river before. Also the limestone slab I knew as Durex Slope looks surprisingly steep from that angle.

I hadn’t spotted that so glad I pressed the shoot button at the “right” moment. Never heard that slope described as you have-frankly it is a mess as there is a lot of graffiti on it. Rather out of place in the scene. Happy to have snapped a spot you know.

It's part of my drive to work in Filton, I agree, the graffiti looks a real mess, its a very steep incline, maybe thats why they havent cleaned it off
I sometimes fly on top of the Downs, some great shots can be had of the Gorge and the Brunels Suspension bridge

It isn't that steep, you can walk up and down it when it's dry.

Thats probably why they have adorned it with so much graffiti, just a shame as it spoilt the rock face

Me too. The Downs are good to fly from I was relieved to read the other day and a small spot at Blaise Castle too. On the BCC website I think but not easy to find. Safe flying next year.

Overall, I like the picture! and I see the reflection (after reading @Brian I's post). I think it could be cropped a bit to make the bridge more prominent. Only my opinion.
