is it my eyes or is it out of focus ?

 

[boatone]

Not out of focus but low res webcam makes it a bit fuzzy and looks like the lens could do with a bit of a clean.
Interesting though and rapid updating...

 

[Stevie_T]

Theres also a rather large spider living near the lens that makes an appearance from time to time

 

[tonyran]

No froggies then, I see!

You musn't mention the 'F' word, you should say Team A

Re: Team A

I love it. It will take them years to get over this. Just in time for Waterloo 200!

I can never understand why people put up these low resoulution cameras when Megapixel version are available. OK update rate will be slower due to bandwidth but at least you can see something.
A good example is the Minack theatre www.minack.com which is also very good for look at the sea state near Lands End

Are they submarines? I haven't seen any yet

 

[Fenders]

Just seen the spider again. Seems busy weaving a web across the face of the lens

Re: Auto focus

Earlier today when a rain storm passed through the webcam demonstrated its auto focus capability. Raindrops on the lens were in perfect focus and the Solent was seen as a fizzy backdrop.

He's there again. Looks like he's got a fly...

 

[Lakesailor]

Is this what they call a Fly-On-The-Wall broadcast?

 

[landaftaf]

has it got a name - you may have the honour of choosing one .... you spotted (discovered) him/her first
how about nelson .... ?

 

[alahol2]

Looks more like a Lady Hamilton to me...
