Welcome to the Sites Index for the fixed-point photography projects which Congregate supports. Here you can find a full list of sites which you can visit and submit your photos for.
Fixed-point photography involves taking a photograph from the exact same spot at regular intervals. Projects use fixed-point photography as a method for monitoring river restoration efforts and documenting environmental change.
Below is a map of the fixed-point photography sites which you can currently visit:
The photographs uploaded of these sites can be viewed alongside other datasets for the region in the RiverHub Dashboard.
Fixed Point photography was made possible at Leap Valley and Yate Common under the Resilient Frome programme. A partnership project (SGC/BCC/WW and EA) funded by Defra as part of the £200m flood and Coastal Innovation Programme managed by the Environment Agency. The funding enables us to monitor changes to the river and surrounding landscape following our initial restoration works.
The sites supported by this project are:
Thanks to BACP and the Bristol Rotary Club for funding the installation of fixed-point photography at Three Brooks Nature Reserve and in Thornbury on the Pickedmoor Lane Rhine. This funding has enabled us to consistently track the outcomes of restoration works such as berms and leaky dams, which emulate natural woody processes to increase habitat complexity, improve sediment sorting, and support natural flow management over time.
