<p>All images, <strong>Canon EOS 70D</strong></p>

<p>Last time I showed Prince Harry playing polo and I'm sticking with the polo theme this week. I've covered three tournaments in the last few days, the Inter Regimental Trophy played at Guards Polo Club is the oldest competition in world polo, the Captains and Subalterns Trophy at Tidworth is the second oldest competition and the largest in terms of the number of teams. The third competition was the Leadership and Excellence Trophy and this was the first time all three services had played in a tournament at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, so it's the youngest competition.<br>

<p>Two images shot from the same position with the same lens ~ one with a 40D in visible light and one with an EOS M converted to IR only. Lens was the EF-S 10-22. Shot in fairly heavy fog (visibility less than 200 meters). This is the oldest high schools in our town. It opened in 1852.<br>

<p>No shooting again this week (yet), but I'm still scanning old 35mm slides. Here's a shot from my dorm room from 1977. That's San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge on the horizon.</p><div></div>

<p>Last week was the US National Championships for Tumbling and trampoline gymnastics. My grand-daughters team competed and did well. Returning home, they had an unexpected job, being interviewed by a local TV station.<br /> In the spotlight!</p><div></div>

<p>been remixing a Hendrix cover i did with a friend over on Kompoz so no shooting this past week....was able to get out this morning but the camera bag is still in the car so these three are from a month ago when the zoo had a free day for seniors</p><div></div>

<p>Peter Meade. As someone who does action I think your polo photos epitomize what I strive for. I particularly strive for clear faces. </p>
