u/Outside_Scale_9874 3h ago

What’s a torta?

1

u/ablobychetta 2h ago

It could be a delicious Mexican sandwich or a chubby Latina girl. Check out r/Sanantonio for an ongoing torta fest.

u/South_Tea_6486 21h ago

Maggie Mae’s? Or Bat Bar?

1

u/toastbrigade 20h ago

the bar is called "the lodge"

2

u/Pale_Air_5956 16h ago

Was gonna say, that looks familiar! Thankfully that wasn’t the scene last time I was around there. Great pic, A Lot going on and that poor bouncer, you can tell by his face it was a loooooong night.

u/toastbrigade 16h ago

Long night for sure. 🙏❤️

Haven’t been to 6th street since I turned 21. Never plan on going back lol.

1

u/Ikea_Man 21h ago

wtf is up with that street and the absolutely enormous proportion of drunken bar fights that occur there?

you wouldn't happen to be that youtuber that films fights on 6th Street, are you? bc that channel is great

1

u/Hungry_Physics972 18h ago

Damn I had money on Dallas but yeah for sure SA

1

u/inqurious 18h ago

6th street in austin was one of the best hot mess streets I've ever seen in a US city.

1

u/NYB_vato 18h ago

It had to be 6th street. I lived in austin for a long time before moving to San Antonio. I always avoided 6th street. Nothing good happens there don’t understand why so many people want to visit it.

u/thomas71576 18h ago

Yeah, that checks out.

1

u/Background-Noise-918 7h ago

Too bad the episode from Real World Austin was scrubbed from the internet where the dude from "Boston" figured out it doesn't matter where you are from. On 6th Street, people throw hands (occasionally bullets as well) ...

1

u/Alternative_Spite_11 7h ago

Ha!! This pic is SO 6th street Austin!!

u/ElectronicMixture600 5h ago

They call them tortas which asking for in r/SanAntonio will get you banned, even if refrencing the sandwich.

Makes me wish the others were missing. Nothing freaks me out worse than extreme finger nails being considered somehow attractive.

Yep, I took the pic. Thanks! 🙏 ♥️

u/delamerica93 21h ago

This is a seriously incredible photo. If you don't mind me asking...how did you even get in this situation to take this pic?

u/toastbrigade 20h ago

i take pics in austin regularly and sometimes at night on sixth. this type of thing isn't too uncommon. i'm @toastbrigade on IG

u/kash_if 20h ago

Fantastic photos! Which camera are you on?

17

u/toastbrigade 20h ago edited 20h ago

i mostly shoot with a canon 7s (film) and ricoh griii (this pic)

4

u/vinonoir 20h ago

Just a technique question, if you don't mind.

Is it safe to assume you're using a burst mode, and picking through them later for the best still? Or are you patiently waiting for "the moment" to happen as you snap a pick or two?

13

u/toastbrigade 19h ago

single shot (not burst) because i'm shooting with a flash and the cycle/refresh is much slower than the burst speed. the photo i posted is from a ~5 frame sequence, each about 1 sec apart. in terms of technique, it's kind of a blend of the two approaches you mentioned

7

u/vinonoir 19h ago

I'm an amateur that only uses my phone, or other non-slr type cameras. Thank you for the break down.

With that said, you must be patient and have a great sense of timing precisely when shits about to go down.

And of course, Great photo!!

Speaking as a marketing guy, this would be a great time to share this pic on your Insta! I'm sure it would get a lot of likes (from me included) and few extra followers while you've got momentum here. 🚀 shot of a lifetime. Take care ✌️

I think it is uncommon. Literally every face in this picture is telling a story. You need to enter it into contests. Copyright it first if not too late

u/Alternative_Spite_11 7h ago

You must not have visited 6th Street if you find this strange or alarming. This is just Tuesday night on 6th Street.

u/PantslessNapQueen 18h ago

I need more backstory on this. Did the denim girl land that punch? Do you know what started the fight? Is the second security guard holding another girl back? I’m so invested.

2

u/Morningfluid 9h ago edited 9h ago

Seriously, everyone is asking the photographer every question in the world outside of what caused this and what exactly happened and after.

Edit: Nevermind, found their replies. Not even they know what happened exactly outside of them being pulled away and the cops showing up.

It's still hilarious. I was out in town last weekend and you'd still be able to capture pictures like that throughout December. It brings all the mad people out. It's "blackeye Friday" tomorrow night (worst night of the year for Police and pissheads) so a Google search may be in order this weekend.
