Announcing our February photo challenge: "Canine Capers"

Digital Photography Review news -

Back in the days when DPReview was part of Amazon, I took photos at an event called "Barktoberfest," where people brought their pets to work in Halloween costumes. At one such event, I came across this French Bulldog, dressed in a Mexican poncho and sombrero, who had a look on his face that said, "I can't believe my person is making me do this."

Our January Editor's photo challenge theme is "Canine Capers."

This month, our Editor's challenge has gone to the dogs. Literally. We want to see your most impressive dog photography. Whether you've captured a soulful portrait, an action shot of a pup in flight, or your furry sidekick in an embarrassingly bad Halloween costume, we want to see it. Our favorites will be featured in an article on the DPReview homepage.

Photos can be submitted between Sunday, February 15, and Saturday, February 21 (GMT). The challenge is open to photos captured at any time.

Important: Images MUST include a title and a caption of at least 25 words to be eligible. We need to be able to share the story behind your photo. We will consider both photos and captions when selecting our winners, so make sure to tell us that story!

Visit the challenge page to read the full rules and to submit your photos for consideration as soon as the challenge opens.

Canon RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5 L Fisheye STM initial sample gallery: look behind you

In addition to its ultra-wide prime, Canon announced a rather exotic lens this week: the RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5 L Fisheye STM, which, at its widest setting, has a 190° field of view, meaning it can actually see behind itself. We got to spend a bit of time with it prior to its launch to get an idea of what shooting with this kind of focal length is like. (The experience gave us a renewed awareness of where our fingers and the feet of our tripods are.)

We hope to spend a bit more time with this lens to capture a few more kinds of subjects with it, such as architecture in good weather and, if we can find one, a skateboarder. We'll be sure to keep you updated when we add those images, but for now, enjoy the gallery.

Mathematical thinking may have developed long before writing

Gizmag news -

We generally associate the origins of mathematical thinking with the emergence of writing, about five to six thousand years ago. However, a new study challenges this assumption looking at floral designs found on the painted pottery sherds from the Halafian sites across northern Mesopotamia, dating back 8000 years.

Review: 2026 Mazda3 hatchback refines a winning formula

Gizmag news -

If you’ve followed Mazda over the years, you know the 3 has always been the brand’s emotional core. For 2026, Mazda’s latest Mazda 3 Hatchback continues that tradition, polishing the edges of a well-worn formula rather than reinventing it. What you get is a car that feels more expensive than its price tag suggests, and more alive than its rivals.

The DPReview team discusses Canon, Leica and Viltrox's lens news

Digital Photography Review news -

When you use DPReview links to buy products, the site may earn a commission.

There have been several rounds of lens news recently, with Canon introducing two new ultrawide options for RF mount, Leica releasing its first wide-angle Noctilux and Viltrox finally announcing its first lens for L mount. Some of DPReview's editors sat down to discuss these new options and to talk about what impact they might have for photographers.

Let us know what you think of the new lenses in the comments or on our forums!

This week, Canon announced its widest non-VR prime lens for full-frame RF cameras, the 14mm F1.4 L VCM. We were lucky enough to get the chance to shoot some samples with it to get a feel for how it performs.

Of course, one of the most exciting uses for this kind of lens is astrophotography. Thanks to a combination of shipping delays and almost exclusively overcast weather, we weren't able to get any shots of the stars in time for this launch, but we'll be making sure our resident astro enthusiast, Dale Baskin, gets a chance to take some samples with it. Look forward to an update with those in the near future (assuming the skies cooperate, of course).

What's the deal with space-based data centers for AI?

Gizmag news -

Terrestrial data centers are so 2025. We're taking our large-scale compute infrastructure into orbit, baby! Or at least, that's what Big Tech is yelling from the rooftops at the moment. It's quite a bonkers idea that's hoovering up money and mindspace, so let's unpack what it's all about – and whether it's even grounded in reality.

Frontier-smashing camper hides rustic lodge inside shimmering shell

Gizmag news -

As Silicon Valley works overtime at developing camping trailers around technology platforms, fellow Californian RV badge Bowlus steps back into the spotlight to remind us why RV design has traditionally started with stylish aerodynamics and comfy living amenities, keeping the tech in the background as a complement. The all-new Endless Highways Frontier Edition takes the brand's most powerful trailer to new aesthetic heights, warming up the interior of the vintage riveted-aluminum fuselage with a rustic cabin inspired by the mountain ranches and pioneer homesteads of the American West.

Futuristic concept scooter is clad in flax-based body panels

Gizmag news -

When Bangalore, India-based electric two-wheeler outfit Ather unveiled its bold Redux concept scooter last September, it was all I could do to keep from banging down the company's doors and demanding they put it into production immediately. This stunning machine combined a number of innovative ideas and race-inspired styling, and the design went harder than any other maxi scooter in recent memory.
