I just got home from work and went to the fridge to get a beer by our back door. I usually have a look in the garden, so I did it through my camera to see what my new fisheye lens would produce. Very quick shot, the beer is more important than fiddling about at the moment. The weekend is here and the shed is full of homebrew :rofl:

Do you live and breath in your office? What about Windows at home, car windows, train windows etc?

Of course I can live and breath in my office... don't forget that we have AC/Heat unit.

I have photos from car windows that were taken a few years ago.

Not a problem. If no prize in next contest, then I skip that one as well. :)

But, if you don't provide the prize, you may lose contest users and they may not come back to play..

You can give the winner a year subscription to this site or something else such as Flickr, etc.

That is why, you are not having enough people to join the contest. You need to let us know in advance so we have time to do something before the contest deadline.

What a load of tripe...people with an interest in Photography will part take regardless of a prize, it isn't like you are taking a picture JUST for use here is it?

Yeah Sho, I agree with lilrich, I would participate just for the heck of it, regardless of a prize or not.

Here is my dog looking out my bedroom window. I took this a couple of days ago, and it's one of my first test shots with my first L series Canon lens - the 24-105 EF F4.

Nice shot, not sure if the dog is a bit under exposed? Was that shot in Raw?

Yup, shot in Raw. My dog is under exposed, but the sky is over exposed, very hard shot to balance it correctly without serious editing. I try hard to just use pictures straight out of the camera with little to no editing - usually just crop and rotate if I can help it.

Just did some minor alterations is PS Elements to bring up the shadows a touch.

Much better :)

I might of bought the dog into the foreground focus and put the tree out of focus if it was me, but hey this is isn't a critique ;)

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
