I know it looks awful but I just like to jazz up the bad parking photos

Maybach (apparently) parked incorrect, towcar comes to tow/lift car away, but it's a bit too heavy

Probably get another ticket now for being too far from the kerb.

I bet the people stuck behind that truck for 5 minutes of dicking about were pleased that it was trying to remove the obstruction the Maybach was causing

What an odd place for the turning circles, bloody planners, shoot them.

Sainsbury's Calcot, Saturday afternoon.

"that'll do"...

When I got to the town centre earlier there were two arses taking up three spaces in the half hour spots.

But I was in a small Italian car...





...so two arses and dick in three spaces. And I still had enough room to open my tailgate.

It's an Allroad, or whatever Volvo call their version; so that is fine!!

So you don't think they were being considerate towards the car parked next to them, allowing that person to get into their car?

You seem like someone who knows about cameras etc.

What is the purpose of that mode? I've seen it before on the internet (my phone probably has it too but I've never looked) but I just can't understand what it's for.

Oh no, its a police car. Police never do anything considerate towards others.

I'd rather the Police park like that than hit my car with their door or doors. I'm sure the silver Golf owner appreciated it.

In theory in its decent mode it is meant to balance the light out so that it maintains detail in the dark and light areas without blowing out the detail in the light areas and killing detail in the dark. On phones though you generally get what you see here where the settings are generally set to bat st crazy levels and can create a halo around contrasting areas to an image/create what you see here (hyper processed if you will).

No. If they'd been considerate, they might have parked properly, not abandoned the vehicle with lock still on the steering and the rear tyre half hanging off a kerb. What would happen if they had to get out quickly?

Ah, thanks for that. I actually assumed it was intended to make it look like a bright painting but your explanation makes sense.

I'm going to have to learn more about photography. It seems like something I might enjoy if I got into it.
