<p>Here are some shots from last week's walk along the River Thames, featuring bridges. The first bridge was built in the 1960s, the second bridge is a Grade 1 listed building that was constructed around 1750 and the third bridge was a gift from a resident in the 1800s.<br> All of the photos were taken with a 5D2; the under the bridge shot used a Samyang 14/2.8 at f8 and the other two were shot with a 24-105.<br> <a title="Bray bridge by Pete Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7391/16577234331_af631c7d1b_o.jpg" alt="Bray bridge" width="800" height="533" /></a><br /><a title="Maidenhead Bridge by Pete Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8597/16391422960_134ec39c02_o.jpg" alt="Maidenhead Bridge" width="800" height="533" /></a><a title="Fishing by Pete Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8657/16392596289_37a7dc080c_o.jpg" alt="Fishing" width="800" height="533" /></a></p>

<p>I agree wholeheartedly with Richard Hatch. The cameras work perfectly well without intervention, I don't think "preventative maintenance" for camera gear is useful.</p>

<p>Hello all, I had another day photographing my son and his Airsoft team last weekend. The venue is a deserted shopping arcade that is very dark. It's difficult and hazardous to to be in with those people and on this occasion, the venue was also very smokey from the number of pyros being used. <br /> These were shot with a 5D and Sigma 50/1.4 at iso-1600.<br> <a title="House of Wolves at The Mall by Pete Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8619/16570104931_040f72882a_o.jpg" alt="House of Wolves at The Mall" width="800" height="533" /></a><br /><a title="House of Wolves at The Mall by Pete Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8613/16385481719_162cb1668a_o.jpg" alt="House of Wolves at The Mall" width="800" height="533" /></a><br /><a title="House of Wolves at The Mall by Pete Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7450/16384309260_e052d58524_o.jpg" alt="House of Wolves at The Mall" width="800" height="533" /></a></p>

<p>I'm offering something a bit different this week.<br /> A friend had a house fire last week. Miraculously, the fire was confined to one room and she survived. She asked if I could photograph the contents of the room in order to substantiate an insurance claim and also to provide the local fire service with material for an article describing the event.<br> In this shot she had just uncovered a treasured possession, a photograph of her daughter.</p> <p><strong>5D+17-40+580 EX Mk2</strong><br> <a title="After the fire by Pete Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7351/16276877238_21439677f9_o.jpg" alt="After the fire" width="800" height="533" /></a></p>

@Robin Smith that's him

<p>I'm putting together a photo blog about my role as the British Army Polo Team's photographer. These are from the photos I have selected for inclusion.<br> <a title="Leadership and Excellence Tournament 2014 by Pete Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3851/14545270757_7c9eef352d_o.jpg" alt="Leadership and Excellence Tournament 2014" width="800" height="533" /></a><br /><a title="EFG International Bicentennial Trophy 2014 by Pete Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2940/14640261387_05a234796c_o.jpg" alt="EFG International Bicentennial Trophy 2014" width="800" height="533" /></a>,br><a title="Hackett Rundle Cup 2014 by Pete Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3872/14648193231_49131bbc09_o.jpg" alt="Hackett Rundle Cup 2014" width="800" height="533" /></a></p>

<p>I had a couple of mornings in Windsor Great Park last week. <br /> A local lifestyle glossy has shown an interest in one of the images that had a brief and unsuccessful run in the ratings game on this site.<br> All of these were taken with a 7D+300/4+1.4x at iso-400 and f8.</p> <p><a title="January in Windsor Great Park by Pete Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7514/16300869606_7031d889e3_o.jpg" alt="January in Windsor Great Park" width="533" height="800" /></a><br /> <a title="January in Windsor Great Park by Pete Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8629/16140922147_969ea0915c_o.jpg" alt="January in Windsor Great Park" width="533" height="800" /></a><br /> <a title="January in Windsor Great Park by Pete Meade, on Flickr" href=" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8631/16325026241_361b35d942_o.jpg" alt="January in Windsor Great Park" width="533" height="800" /></a></p> <p> </p>
