At least you can see the bridge without a white van obscuring the view!!

Not because of a new lens, but it is a distorted image.

 

They appear to have upgraded the webcam to a newer widescreen model, but haven't edited the web page.

 

The web page html code is still forcing it into the previous 4:3 aspect ratio, but the raw image now appears to be in widescreen 16:9, so it appears squashed horizontally but correct vertically.

 

If you right click the image and select "open image in new window", it then displays correctly, but no longer auto-updates.

 

The web page editor needs to change the Java function in the HTML code to display the image as webCamWidth = 768; instead of webCamWidth = 640;

clear as mud,but, looking at your pic i see the words aspect ratio, these i understand

Just seen on the NBF:

The bridgecam is a live stream cam

Anne and Peter 

It is indeed now a live streaming camera which you can put to full screen and is very good.

Took a look this morning and the sun was not helping the image, could barely see the bridge at all.

I'm sure it's fine later in the day.
