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.

I don't have new ones yet... I have sore ankle ... I can't walk much until it gets better.

But I will think of something... or I could wait for next month...

Can't guarantee there will be a prize every month... :)

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 ;)

    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.
