I launched from a clearing just below the Bridge overlook as it was blowing a hooley. Gusting 27mph UAV said but it felt more. More sheltered launch site but bumpy as I cleared the trees. The sun was out and the tree colours are pretty special. The shot of the Bridge is downstream from the shot a pilot from here posted earlier in the week. There is a shot of Clifton College a beautiful school and one of the Avon Gorge and the two Severn Bridges are in the distance. Chanced upon an old pilot too!! So good to be flying.

Really nice stuff, twickers! The third shot has what appears to be writing in white letters on the rocks, but I can't make it out. Does it say something? Btw, thanks for sharing.

That Shot of the Bridge is stunning, are you using filters etc, etc what time of day was it, just trying to guesstimate the suns location at the point of photo op.

Stunning is right, looks like 4K images. Beautiful job twickers14. The second pic is my favorite, gorgeous colors. Appreciate it.
No filters, about 15.30 and the sun is getting lower and just off to the right of the shot. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get any exposure off (I am going to have a go at playing with exposure settings on the Spark but time and the wind were not on my side) so it was pure luck! Thanks for your kind words.
Mine too but my wife said, after seeing the stunning Bridge shot earlier this week on the Forum from my fellow Bristol flyer, “you’ve got to get one too”!
For some reason I can’t make the writing out either, even in Photos. I wonder if, as have used AirMagic to buff up the colors a little, the software adversely affects the zoom facility. Will have to check. I know one of the messages is in memory of a young lad here in Bristol who was killed in a cycling incident-the Police are investigating and I think the perps have been jailed. Locals use the slabs of sandstone to daub all sorts of messages on them. It is pretty inaccessible.

Don't sell yourself short twickers14, I've never seen any rookie pilots take shots like that so you had more than luck working for you. Your subject and composition were excellent and you got great exposure. Top notch!

You’re so kind thanks. If you are an AirMagic user see my post this afternoon. They’ve just offered me a refund as it won’t work through the process to being able to use it in other apps like Instagram, Photoshop!! All as a result of Catalina Mac update.
