Photography day out for hands on experience

Here a few shots of a day trip out to Bristol over the Christmas Hols.We regularly organise class day trips out to various locations around the country to gain more experience and a better understanding of photography and using our equipment.

The lighting conditions were dreadfull,very gloomy  grey and overcast. As dark fell we did manage to take a few decent pickies,shown below are some of them.

A nice day out with nice friends

A bit of triv

The bridge is named after "Pero" a slave who lived from around 1753 to 1798, arriving in Bristol probably from the Carribean  Island of Nevis in 1783, as the slave of the merchant John Pinney (1740–1818) at  5 George street.

The bridge is composed of three spans; the two outer ones are fixed and the central section can be raised to provide a navigation channel in the harbour. The most distinctive features of the bridge are the pair of horn-shaped sculptures which act as counterweights for the lifting section, leading it to be commonly known as the Horned Bridge.
