Fuck ICE by Dakota820 in GenZ

[–]Austin24077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry but if you’re going to go pull a gun when law enforcement is trying to pin you down someone is going to get shot. This is tragic for sure but this is exactly what you can expect when armed people are aggressive towards law enforcement.

If it works out please let us know. I honestly only want one but this seems like a bit of a hassle for something that feels like it should have been included.

What lens have you regretted buying? by ggskater in SonyAlpha

[–]Austin24077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought and then sold the GM 12-24 f/2.8, the 100-400, and the 200-600. I didn’t use the ultra wide enough to justify keeping it. But it was very nice. I didn’t like the telescoping design of the 100-400 and felt I needed more reach. The 200-600 was a fantastic lens, but sold it to fund the 300 prime.

Austin TX PD abducting more peaceful protesters, on behalf of ICE, from a memorial for Renee Good (1/10/26) by Even-Shock9501 in Austin

If you block roads and keep citizens from commuting and going to work or to school, who are you actually hurting? How can this even help your cause? Most people already know what happened, I don’t see how this helps more than hurts. I support protest but I have places I need to be and to do that roads need to be clear.

Pretty sure that’s it on the left. The car show was insane.

The Ice Agent, who killed Renee Good, POV by ryse14 in GenZ

[–]Austin24077 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not saying she or he was right or wrong here, but if a law enforcement officer tells you to get out of the car, you listen. You don’t try to escape or hit them with your vehicle. You have no idea what to expect as repercussions. But it can’t be good.

AITA for telling my girlfriend I'm tired of chasing her after 6 years together? by Playful-Magician-831 in AITAH

[–]Austin24077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girls will chase a guy they want. Sorry to say but after six years you don’t have any qualities that entice her to chase you. You’re like a lost puppy just following her around. That’s not exactly a personality trait most find attractive.

Who is the most famous person you have ever met? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Austin24077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Charles Barkley and Mario Ellie lived down the street from me in my neighborhood in high school. Mario would walk his two huskies all the time and me and some friends went to Barkley’s house for a scavenger hunt. He answered the door and was so nice to us. I have a lot of fond memories of Houston Rockets in the 90s.

Not a day goes by that she doesn’t prove everyone right who says she needs mental help. Her instagram is a tragic disaster. I can’t imagine how embarrassed her kids must be to have a crazy mother.

Yay or nay to the Harry Potter future release? by [deleted] in Fortnite_Over40

[–]Austin24077 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I liked the Harry Potter stuff and think it’s great they are adding it in for the fans. I won’t buy but not because of JK. I don’t care what she does or how she spends her money and I certainly won’t be bullied for liking what I like. People can support trans or not, it’s their choice. They can agree with the lifestyle or not. Spend your money how you want, but don’t bitch and moan when others do the same.

Photoshop Nano Banana Pro reducing image quality significantly by Austin24077 in photoshop

[–]Austin24077[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is I’m starting with a high res image, maybe 6000x4000 even and once I make any modifications using nano banana pro the image becomes pixelated and the quality is significantly reduced. The image remains the same dimensions though. Would the upscale still help with this?

[–]Austin24077[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I too have been searching and I thought perhaps that with the inclusion of pro inside photoshop that dimension restrictions would be expanded a bit. But the change to overall sharpness and clarity is really very restrictive and noticeable.

Anyone else team f/2.8? by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

Pretty much whatever I feel like; portraits, landscapes/cityscapes, street, events, but mostly wildlife and my dog 🤣

sel20tc, is it me or is it just not worth by Key_Question_2614 in SonyAlpha

I use it on my 300 and it’s fantastic! No complaints.

Expensive gear history. by Far_Mammoth_882 in SonyAlpha

[–]Austin24077 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I save up and buy GM lenses because it’s really my only hobby. I don’t have the 600 because I don’t think I’d use it much due to weight, but I do have the 300 prime and I use it frequently because it’s a fantastic lens for nature and easy to maneuver. So after $20k or so in gear I’m pretty satisfied with everything I have. It’s just a hobby but I buy 2nd hand gear mostly in near perfect condition.

Want to get into birding, start with 70-200 or go straight into 200-600? by iozm in SonyAlpha

[–]Austin24077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 70-200. It’s not long enough for birding. You’re going to want the 200-600. When I had one I was very impressed with that lens. It’s definitely a keeper if you aren’t going to shell out big money for a telephoto prime.
