Clifton Suspension Bridge @ night - Bristol UK

[bigfrank]

Hey everyone - first night flights attempted at the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol this weekend and quite happy with the results. Was a tad windy so not perfect photos.

Shall revisit and get some more at some point.

I still haven't tried a night flight- too scary I guess.

Well done BF. How exciting to have got up in the dark, I guess it’s not easy shooting such a shot but you’ve done it proud. Been a bit cold here as you know-was it chilly?

Nice photos indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Great stills bigfrank. Gorgeous night shot. Like sharps45, I too have never flown past dusk and appreciate your sharing with us.

Very cool and extraordinary ! Tks.
Me too, until now, have never had the courage to fly my Sparky at night.

Thanks all - still need more practise with all the settings to see what works well best. And flying at night was cool! It was far easier to see the drone because of the flashing lights, too.
I am going to look at flying at night a bit more. Especially as places tend to be quieter. Bristol Harbour would, and I'm sure @twickers14 would agree, would be a pretty cool pace to take some drone shots at night.

Thanks again all.

Thanks Twickers! Yes, very chilly. Hands were very cold and my spare batteries got cold enough that I was warned by the app when I replaced the first battery.

It gets more and more difficult to think of different settings for stills, but you have done a great job. In my opinion, your settings have accentuated the prime subject, the bridge, and shown it to be strikingly beautiful. Very impressed, both by your photographic soils, and by the capabilities of sparkies camera system.
