    Well I sent it UPS and it arrived safe and sound. Too bad the airlines didn’t treat me as well - 24 hour delay to destination. 😞

    Ditto what paddler4 said. Keep in mind the weight of your camera and lens – you want the tripod/head weight limit to exceed the weight of the cam/lens it supports. I also like the ability to attach a weight, e.g. rock in a cloth bag to hang from the center column for increased stability. A center column hook can make that easier to implement, but definitely isn't necessary.

    Thanks for the advice digitaldog and inoneye.

    I want to transport my Epson R2400 printer a few thousand miles. I can either take it with me as checked baggage or I can ship it via UPS or the equivalent. Assuming I have it thoroughly packed, protected, print heads stowed, etc is there a compelling reason to prefer one transportation method over the other (neglecting the expense difference)? Thanks!

    Flower of a grass, perhaps Canada bluegrass. The feathery part is the female stigma and is 2-3mm long.

    Well, as a lark I took a "Slo-Mo" video using my iPhone (240 fps) of my SB-800 (1/1) on my Z7. Looking at the resulting video step-by-step yielded a crude estimate of 60-70 ms delay between the preflash and the main flash. In the past I've been frustrated by this delay when trying to take photos of hovering deer flies: their reaction times are shorter than the delay so that by the time the shutter trips and the main flash fires, the flies have moved significantly.

    Thanks very much. The irony in the context of this thread is that this is the photo that particular, dead star-nosed mole will be remembered by. At least by me – I can't speak for his family.

    @Ricochetrider Great shot! Be nice to see the actual gelatin print.

    Not meaning to be snarky, but the “worst” that could happen to me isn’t that I die. I don’t think there is a particular photo I would like to be remembered by - none of them is that important to me. If such a photo exists it would have to be chosen by any of my survivors - I’ll let them decide rather than foisting my desires on them.

    We saw a bald eagle attack a great blue heron on our pond about a month ago – interrupted the GBH's dinner (ours as well). The eagles routinely attack/harass gulls and sea ducks by our house.
