I’ve been without a tripod for ages now and recently picked one up on the cheap from Amazon. I’ve been meaning to try out some night time photography in the City for a while so I headed up to the suspension bridge to see what I could do.

I ended up taking many photos. Only the above actually turned out well since, despite having a decent tripod, it was very windy and exposed by the bridge. In the end I turned my camera towards the Cumberland Basin from the Leigh Woods side of the Avon Gorge and took a few long exposure shots of the swing bridge.

The above photo was just about the only photo worth keeping out of many attempts due to the wind but I’m pretty chuffed with the results.

I’m going to try and find a decent vantage point over the Hippodrome/fountain area in the centre of town for my next go.
