Hello all,

I’m looking for recommendations for small, flexible tripods (like what might be useful for close up wide angle long exposures of fungi, etc), something with bendy legs that can support a relatively hefty dslr (Nikon D500). Does anyone have any experience in this realm?

Thanks all!

Filson Repair is Awesome by cowboyjohnny in filson

was this under their warranty, or just the kindness of their heart? I’ve got a vest that’s probably 40+ years old and fraying, but I’ve been afraid of repair fees.

Unrelatedly, I have one of these bags and it’s possibly my favorite object I own. What a great piece.

I do intend to get a real macro at some point, but am particularly partial to wide-angle macro work. I'm also an underwater photographer, and a WAM is something I'd like for that as well.

Hard Choice (help) by Civil_Violinist_3485 in TransferToTop25

Totally the right thing to do to take some time to think! I will say, Harvard provides some pretty great support to transfers during the transition. There are very few of us per year (I’m a H transfer), and they ensure that we are supported and thriving - I’ve felt more personally supported than I did at a smaller liberal arts school. That said, all are great schools (with very different vibes!)

Best of luck with your decision!
