Another week, another visit to Avon Gorge. This time, I stayed around the Cumberland Basin, waiting for darkness. But the year had moved on and it was still quite light when the time came for me to leave to get to training.
I made this image whilst I was mooching around, looking for something to shoot in the twilight, having noticed the reflection in the river water. It lacks the, um, drama of previous images in this series, but I like the composition.
I should say that, a couple of weeks previously, I had switched back to my Alpha 550 for one reason and another, and I've really started to notice just how agricultural it is compared to my Alpha 77. I'm beginning to think that its days are numbered - at 14 Mega-pixels, with poor high ISO performance, its beginning to show its age.
The question now becomes this; do I buy myself an RX100 or hold onto my cash for the rumoured A77 replacement due early in 2016? The former neatly dodges the A-mount versus E-mount dilemma, which makes it an attractive option, but means that I'll have to keep the A77 for the foreseeable future, which is obviously a hardship.
