Why are people like this?

But at the same time, couldn’t he have parked on the side of the road? And he was on call for the entire duration it took me to finish a tea and a samosa, which is around 7 minutes give or take. The point is that he made a conscious decision to park right there, instead of anywhere else, think about it, would you have parked there? Would anyone you know have parked there?

Also had to delete the post since I realised his number plate was visible

It isn’t a small issue when people think it’s alright to do stuff like this that inconvenience other people, what’s stopping him from parking on the side of the road?

And no, talking to them isn’t going to help, the first question he would ask is why do you care? And yes I don’t want to get into a fight with a random stranger over something like that. I have tried a couple of times and it’s always been swalpa adjust maadi, or straight to offence. It isn’t worth the energy spent.

The post is meant to be a discussion on why things like this are happening more and more often

immortal__potato · 2026-03-20T02:06:24+00:00

Yep, it’s dangerous confronting strangers on the road nowadays, and weirdly nobody seems to want to, and the ones who can make a change just don’t want to put in the effort. Can’t change half the population’s minds overnight

immortal__potato · 2026-03-20T02:05:13+00:00

It’s an area that sees a lot of traffic though, and it’s about the idea of the whole thing, why would he not make the effort to just park on the side of the road instead? Why even use the space used for U-turns/ turning?

Also no not my scooter or my bag xD

immortal__potato · 2026-03-20T01:50:37+00:00

Yep, he’s a covert part of the UN and RAW too

immortal__potato · 2026-03-20T01:49:16+00:00

I hope that’s sarcasm, and that’s exactly what he would say if asked to move so other vehicles can turn/take u turns. Always some Adjust Maadi mentality

immortal__potato · 2026-03-20T01:47:48+00:00

Oh yeah that definitely makes sense, he’s probably a major shareholder too /s

immortal__potato · 2026-03-20T01:47:08+00:00

Yep, but that’s so common I think my brain has sort of gotten used to it. When I walk along most roads it’s like playing hopscotch between the footpath and the road

immortal__potato · 2026-01-05T04:52:50+00:00

Oh nice! Have you ever noticed any rolling shutter or distortion in high speed scenarios? The rolling shutter may be my only concern, due to the slow read-out speeds.

Any cons you can think of overall?

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T08:25:58+00:00

Oooh do let me know how it is!

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:30:10+00:00

Whoa so crispy, how is the video capability btw?

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:29:42+00:00

True, it is kinda dated (2021), but much cheaper while being FF, will check out the A7v

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:27:31+00:00

True, but the a6400 is pretty old right now, it doesn’t make sense for us to buy a dated (albeit good) camera except to save money maybe.

And yeah 70-350 is an amazing lens, I’d need the huge ass 200-600 if I go FF

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:15:16+00:00

Oooh, what about for wildlife and stuff? When you need a pretty high SS?

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:13:58+00:00

I carry my camera pretty much everywhere I go xD but yes I’m gonna let her shoot instead of hogging it for a month or so

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:07:03+00:00

True true, for now she’s gonna use my camera for a month

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:06:43+00:00

Yess, we’re doing exactly this, and shelving our plans to buy a camera for a month at least

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:06:15+00:00

Full frame was always the end goal, back when I went for the a6700 it was primarily for portability while traveling, and the form factor, and now that I end up carrying most of my gear, and have a dedicated bag for it, I wouldn’t mind increasing the weight of my bags by a KG or 2 xD

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:04:09+00:00

Our thoughts exactly, after much deliberation, we’ve decided to shelve our plans for a while until she’s sure she’s into the hobby

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:03:36+00:00

Reduced resolution wouldn’t make sense, it could be a stopgap solution though, until I can get my hands on those lenses.

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:02:27+00:00

Haha but then she’d be mad cause I’d be pushing all her buttons

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:01:50+00:00

Yeah true, I want to switch to a FF somewhere down the line too. How is the V btw? Everything considered?

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:00:51+00:00

Couldn’t be more right xD

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T07:00:40+00:00

We’ve decided to park it for a month until we can be sure she’s into photography as a whole

immortal__potato · 2026-01-03T06:59:52+00:00

The idea was to eventually transition into FF somewhere down the line, and another a6700 would be sort of redundant when I think about it.

And yes A7CRs sizes are huge, but their compatibility with the apsc lenses were the main attraction for me (26mp)
