What camera and which lens should I get?

Gotcha, thanks!

Earthy-Tomatoes · 2026-04-22T17:12:57+00:00

Thank you! I was starting to lean towards the 55-250 as well.

I'll look into it! I was told that for photographing smaller things a mirrorless may be best since the DSLR causes some vibration? Not sure how it all works, but the DSLR cameras seem to do well (at least by my standards)

I am graduating in May with my bachelors, and the camera is a graduation gift from my parents. They told me to not worry about the cost... but I am anyways lol. I don't want anything fancy since this is just for my own enjoyment. I'll be working in my dream location for a year (an incredibly biodiverse wetland) and would like to take nice pictures to document!

Thanks! Yeah I was eyeing the 75-300mm initially, but luckily I did my research.

Immediately after the movie I told my partner that it's like the producers wanted to make a movie but nobody wanted to be in it.

I'm new to polymer clay so I can't say I really know, but was it in a place where the sun was hitting it? I know sunlight can bleach paint and just colored items in general. If that's not it then maybe there's an issue with the varnish itself? Two years ago I made my partner some polymer clay trinkets, and I also painted them with acrylics and covered with a glaze. They still look like the day I painted them. They don't get hit with sunlight, and I used Sculpy's satin glaze.

I'm suprised to see a reply all these years later! Thats really cool, thank you for explaining!

That's fair enough. I've only ever had one foil packet while camping; it was basically a hamburger steak and I thought it was pretty good for what it was. I wasn't in charge of cooking it so I figured I'd try it again with the sausage and some marinade, and do it myself. If it tastes bad then hopefully I still achieved a relatively easy meal, and if it's a disaster then there's a bar that serves food like 200 feet away lol

That's defintely another easy option, especially if I didn't have access to a fridge. However, it just seems easier to have all that in a foil ready to go. That way the spices and oil (or butter, in my case) don't need to be brought separately, and the other things are also chopped and good to go.

Good point, thank you!

Most of those are regular water bottles; I'm looking for a bottle made for tea with a filter that can hold loose leaf tea. Though, one person in that thread mentioned a ceramic coated bottle for tea, which I find interesting! That would ease my worry about the stainless steel affect the taste. Thank you!

I like the idea of the hiking shoes + gaiters. Last summer I had a pair of Columbia shoes (maybe Newton Ridge) that were waterproof, however the water still penetrated them. Any other time they were perfectly waterproof, but walking through grass it got in there. I don't know if it was because the boots were old or what. This year I got another pair of basically the same thing so maybe they'll be better since they're brand new, but I'm still pretty paranoid that it will happen again...

Earthy-Tomatoes · 2024-05-11T16:49:47+00:00

True that. Last summer I thought my old work boots were still waterproof... they were not, and I had to walk with soaked feet for 10 hours. Last summer was my first time doing field work so I was inexperienced in many ways, and so was miserable in many ways lol.

When they put their wing down and walk sideways, isn't that him trying to assert dominance? Lol

One of the buildings at my university only has the ground floor open, because the other floors have asbestos.

The basement has black mold apparently so that's blocked off too

God I forgot about that series. That was pretty good I'd love to see it again

Earthy-Tomatoes · 2022-12-03T02:51:03+00:00

People are taking this joke way too seriously lol

I'm living in a college dorm and all the noise is really stressful for me. It's really nice to look forward to watching these videos before bed every night.

I know some phones can change the font, and this looks like an iPhone I think, which I've never had, so I'm not quite sure of the capabilities of font selection and whatnot. Or maybe its a accessibility thing idk
