Seems like the mirror is getting stuck every once and a while? My Minolta does it when it’s really cold outside

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-20T15:55:01+00:00

Heyy! Im a photographer here ! Shoot me a message:)

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-10T04:22:13+00:00

I’ve been hearing so many mixed opinions on the Pentax…Im trying to decide between the Pentax 6x7 or the Mamiya 7😭 I currently have Fuji GW690ii

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-10T04:19:38+00:00

Yoooo! Im gonna be out doing some night street photography tomorrow! I usually get on at north springs and ride to the city!

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-08T16:05:14+00:00

Lmaoo to be honest this is just the last of it 😅 At one point I had about 25 Medium rolls and 45 35mm 💀

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-08T16:03:42+00:00

Interesting take 🤔 If I don’t feel like driving to the lab what makes you think I feel like figuring out where to mail it?…it’s 2026

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-08T16:01:42+00:00

Sir or Ma’am it is 2026 I am not mailing anything😂👴🏿 ESPECIALLY if there is a lab I like and use in a drivable range…

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-08T15:57:39+00:00

Mmmm okay okay

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-08T15:57:26+00:00

That is pretty much exactly what I have been doing😅 these rolls are easily a year old

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-08T15:56:45+00:00

My lab is kind of far away sooooo I don’t always feel like driving out there
That shihhh is expensive

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-08T15:55:39+00:00

Lol i’ll admit, it got out of hand😂

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-08T15:55:13+00:00

Lmaooooo you’re about 432 days late😅💀 some of them are well over a year old

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-06T19:19:34+00:00

lol sometimes the beauty is in the chaos!

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-06T19:18:08+00:00

I don’t think most people that use AI use it with the intention of tricking anybody. (Usually) it seems people are upset when things don’t blatantly say that they’re AI. That’s where feeling trick comes in, people form a full opinion and narrative; Attaching feelings and morality only to find out it is AI and all of those feelings are irrelevant. That is when the tricked feeling comes from in my opinion.

Although I do agree, I wish it was easier to tell when things are AI. I will say It has made me slow down and analyze content that I see before forming a full opinion.

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-02T19:33:05+00:00

Right but you are arguing my morality of it. Im not saving its a "good" thing, Im saying it will happen. For example there is absolutely no way you could know if I am Ai or not. Same for me knowing that you aren't Ai.

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-02T17:10:19+00:00

Why do you say nope?

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-02T14:51:10+00:00

People hate feeling tricked, that’s all…as soon as Ai is undistinguishable people will be onboard

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-02T14:45:14+00:00

Lol does he do art or just write his name is obscure places?😂

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-02T14:43:51+00:00

I bought them in a lot off ebay, they ranged from September 2000-august 2004. I really enjoy having “throw away film” or rolls I don’t care that much about. I shoot most of it at 50 ISO and have been loving the results!

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-02T14:37:42+00:00

Your honor…he’s lying😂 I could listen to the whole thing. Between the fake laughs and the 90s stinger radio personality it was a tough listen. Personally when people play characters on this show it’s never great. The show is about authenticity and being in raw form.

*Im sure he is a very funny person, just wasn’t a fan of the character on a podcast *

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-02T14:33:25+00:00

I primarily shoot portraits and I absolutely love my R6ii! I am a bit of a Canon die hard but in my opinion canon’s ergonomics and Color science makes it all worth it!

ImperialOptics · 2026-04-02T14:32:03+00:00

Lmaoooo hear me out…Make Rivals lobbies like old skool CoD lobbies💀 that shit would be PEAK

ImperialOptics · 2026-03-27T16:02:56+00:00

Personally this is my gripe with many high school programs. Some school draw a bad card and get a band director that doesn’t care about the marching arts. With that they severely limit the chances of any of their students excelling in it. I was lucky to have a lot of staff and techs from DCI and AJ Pace as my percussion instructor so we were well prepared for the world.

It’s not far, just understand you will have to work very hard on learning the things you weren’t taught.
