I'm in the office today for the first time this year for an after-work music jam!

My RAW-taking photo app of choice is Halide and they released a preview today of the next version of it, which includes a black-and-white process and my goodness does it look nice. It's even more striking looking at the original HDR image but that all gets stripped out when my website resizes the image and removes the EXIF data (and I also don't know if GoToSocial would keep it as HDR either).

My word, at some point since I was last in we got a double kick setup. 😅 Never having played one before, I am unsurprisingly not very good at it!

The jam session was fun, unfortunately the bass guitar had a dying battery in it so we couldn't use it but the other people I was playing with were fine with me requesting to go back to simple chord changes so I could play guitar, and we also did some extremely-excellent-fun power chord chugging. 🤘🏻
