I'm being watched.

Just messing around in my room, I once uploaded a picture of my last bedroom onto my Flickr page and it was featured on Unplgged. as they were impressed with my room.

I've moved out of that room and into a new one, which is much bigger. 4 photos taken from each corner of the room.

an old photo from about 4 months ago I stumbled upon today while cleaning out my library.

Now that I'm more... "experienced" I'm not as satisfied with the lighting as I once was.

New updates on my Flickr. Been about 3 weeks since I did any photography outside of work. Poor showing in December from me I think.

Couple shots me and the wee lad took messing around with off camera flash:

And some shots from a breakdance event held locally on the weekend (read more about my issues in photoing it and give me tips here).

The images have been put through lightroom (as is normal for me) and then textures and frames (kind of) added for a grungy/retro feel. I think it works though I do concede that I may have not stopped soon enough on a couple lol...

Too much with the textures and that?

Dunno why I like this but I do. What is it?

It makes me think of 80's man/machine shows like airwolf/street hawk/knightrider. Don't ask me why that's just what conjures in my mind when i look at it.

Also, crazy88ss. The ant picture is cool. Totally crisp and detailed I even like the layout, though I don't know how orchestrated by you that was (reckon you would've just left the little blighters to it and fire off a couple of frames, see which is best, no?).

Nice macro shot... least I hope its a macro shot... :|

Yes, way too much.

Yes it's a macro shot.

I have some ant bait on my dresser that they've been... "hanging out" at. I thought it'd make a good photo opporunity so I put down a piece of white printer paper to help make them easier to see.

Other than that I just took a bunch of pictures and picked my favorite one. I used my reverse lens adapter on my 50mm f1.8, so everything was 100% manual. It's a big challenge trying to capture moving objects with no autofocus!

It's nothing compared to every other photo in the thread but it was my very first picture taken with my new camera, it's a milestone :p

I call it: Bloody hell Sethos, perhaps it's time to give that cup a wash?

nice! You should get a flickr account Sethos.

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
