clifton suspension bridge observatory avon gorge

This photograph of Bristol’s most famous Clifton Suspension Bridge is available for sale as a signed limited edition print. The image has created a lot of interest when on display in the studio. It is made up of the combination of 20 photographs to increase both the detail resolution of the image and also the dynamic range, recording both the significant highlight detail around the bridge lighting and also the shadow detail particularly within the foliage.

Avon Gorge Clifton Observatory and Suspension Bridge

The Clifton Observatory is the small tower on the left hand side which was originally a windmill built in 1766 to grind snuff. Unfortunately a few years later it was damaged in a gale and caught fire and then lay derelict until 1828 when it was refurbished to accommodate a camera obscura which is still there today.

Bristol Dock froze in 2010

This photograph again is the combination of 21 images and is the same as this panoramic image but is the full crop. This is one of those images I am not able decide on the best crop. So both are provided here!

The image is special because Bristol Docks very rarely freezes over and the shot needs to be early morning near mid winters day to capture the sunrise in the south east over Bristol and Bedminster

Where is Concorde?

This panorama was part of a commission for the Prudential, owners of The Mall at Cribbs Causeway. Make sure you view the 360 virtual tour full screen by clicking on the button far right.

Actually this preliminary panorama was taken above the barrel vaulted roof on the Shopping Centre to show the extensive car parking close by. The final version for the Prudential was to be taken from a ‘cherry picker’ to be positioned suitably within the car park area and show a more conventional perspective of that part. When we get around to doing that I will post it here! For those who know The Mall, I am actually above the WHSmith unit in the centre. (more…)
