A high-contrast black and white photo looking down onto part of the Sydney CBD from the 30th floor of our office. Lots of tall modern buildings interspersed with the older shorter ones that have been here for decades.

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).

A photo in portrait orientation taken from the fourth floor of our building, looking down Carrington St in Sydney. There are tall buildings on on the left, and a bunch of trees and greenery on the right, with more tall buildings rising up in the distance past the greenery. It's completely sunny and the sky is totally blue except for a single fluffy cloud.

I'm in the office today, and for this entire week which is going to be a hell of a shock. We've got a team event where we've flown in the whole department from all over the place, so I'm going to be non-stop peopling and am going to be so drained come the end of the week, heh.

A very wide angle panorama photo of a bunch of people sitting around a table in a pub, smiling at the camera.

Most excellent fedimeet! It was great to see @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], and @[email protected] again, and to meet @[email protected] (who won't actually see this toot because I have mastodon.social blocked on this instance, haha).

A panorama photo of a group of people sitting around a pair of tables in a pub. Everyone except @thewetmale is looking at the camera and smiling.

Excellent turnout with the Sydney fedimeet, it was great to see @thewetmale @[email protected] @ausfestivus and @[email protected] in person again, and extra lovely to meet @akent @heygeorgie @dropbear @[email protected] and @[email protected] for the first time! 🎉 Big thanks to @yayKM for organising, we'll have to do this again soon!

(Also full disclosure, @thewetmale doesn't actually look that munted in real life, he was in the middle of talking while I was taking the panorama and this was the result. 😅)

A photo taken out the window of a plane as it's banking, showing lots of houses and trees and a section of maybe a mall? There are a few unit blocks scattered around too.

I love looking out the window when the plane is coming in for a landing, makes me want to play Cities: Skylines. 😛

A photo looking down Sydney's George St, with tram tracks in the middle, some trees just starting to come back into their greenery, tall buildings, and people walking around with umbrellas. The sky is grey and it's actively raining.

I'm in the city today for a doctor's appointment and also post-work jam session, and jesus CHRIST is it miserable.

A wide-angle photo taken from the bottom of the set of three escalators looking up them on the Metro platform at Sydney's Central station. It's a big open area with geometric textured sandstone-coloured walls above.

And now we're heading back home on the Metro, having dropped @yayKM's mum off at the airport. I don't think we've used public transport this much since pre-COVID!

A photo of the tunnel right as you leave Gadigal station. It's brightly lit with walls that curve up and are corrugated to deaden echoes. The bottom half of the walls are an off-white, and the top half are alternating black and white, and the roof is black. It's very visually striking.

A photo of the HUGE mural at the middle set of escalators at Gadigal station. It's multiple storeys high, tiled, and features a bright cheerful yellow background with a blue tunnel painted in the middle that curves off the right.

A photo taken from the top of the escalators down into the Metro platform at Barangaroo. The walls are roughly-cut sandstone with some sort of leafy (I think?) art decoration at the right.

Today we took the bus to the Metro, then the Metro in to the city so we could go visit the Sydney Aquarium!

Have I mentioned how good the Metro is? Because I feel like it bears repeating, it's SO GOOD. We got off in the morning at Gadigal station, and after we finished with the aquarium we walked north and then took the Metro from Barangaroo back to Tallawong. They've done such a fantastic job with the interior of the stations, it's bright and modern and interesting, I love it.

I bought the DSLR along so I could take photos in the aquarium, and I got some shots of our wanderings through Barangaroo that I'm really happy with too.

A wide-angle photo looking down from our Level 30 office in Sydney's CBD. There are a number of shorter buildings directly below, and some taller ones forming a bit of a wall further out. The sky is grey and foggy and everything is wet because it's just been raining.

I am once again in the office and thoroughly enjoying view. Bit of a miserable day though.

A wide-angle photo of a restaurant table with pizza, pasta, ravioli, and a bowl of french fries on it.
