2 men on a stage, performing as part of a band. On the let is a tall man wearing a blue, grey and white woolly hat, dark t-shirt, and blue jeans, and playing a white bass guitar. On the right is a man with short dark hair, wearing a dark shirt and grey trousers, holding a microphone in both hands, even though it's on a stand, while he sings in to it. In the background, a man can almost be seen sitting behind a silver drum kit, only his right hand visible clutching a drum stick. Black walls and bright stage lights fill the rest of the background, with a bloom of red light above the singers head.

Close-up of a man wearing a black, wide-brimmed hat, and a white t-shirt with a brown image of someone's face below the word "Preview", looking directly at the camera with his mouth open while playing a silvery-grey guitar. A man with a bald head is standing over his shoulder, facing the other way. Black walls and dark ceiling fill the rest of the frame.

A man with very short dark hair, wearing a blue coverall and blue trainers, standing on a red metal railing at the front of a stage and screaming in to a microphone held in his left hand, with a blue lead attached to the mic and looped around his hand. He is crouched over slightly, as the ceiling is a bit too low for him to stand erect. Purple walls and white ceiling stretch aross the background behind him. In a recess in the purple wall, a man in similar white coveralls has a brown guitar slung over his shoulder with a black strap.

A man with lank dark hair and almost impressive sideburns, along with the beginnings of a goatee beard, wearing a red t-shirt with a yellow text-based logo that is almost indecipherable, and baggy blue jeans. He is playing a brown electric guitar, looking down at his left hand on the strings on the guitars neck while his right hand plays a chord. A long exposure combined with his movement has created some ghostly secondary images, mostly around the body and neck of the guitar, as well as some yellow and white light trails. A person wearing a red t-shirt can be seen sitting behind a drum kit in the background at the bottom right of the frame. A pair of large white posters, with text apparently advertising up-coming events at the venue dominate black walls behind this man.

Testing testing…

This is a test – specifically of ActivityPub, but also in general…

2 members of a band performing on stage, and indulging in some hi-jinks. On the left is a man with short, dark hair and a straggly beard, wearing a grey vest and a blue pair of jeans, crouching down on the floor, holding an electric guitar and facing off to the left.

Whoops, Sorry About That…

Sorry, I’ve been a bad little madCam, and not posted for a while – I didn’t actually…

A woman with long dark hair tumbling over her shoulders, wearing a strappy black dress that leaves her shoulders and arms bare, and playing a red electric bass guitar. Her head is turned to the left, and tilted slightly back. A long exposure combined with a snap zoom results in 2 separate but connected images, a close-up of her head and shoulders on the right, and a distant, full-length shot on the left, both with a golden cast. Streaks of purple and blue light surround her head, with black walls and ceiling in the background.
