I always check that the connection is properly screwed in as I depart home.  

 

I can't remember where I read it but when researching these straps before buying one I did see one author assert that he had heard the same rumour about risk to the tripod bush and, investigating, found it to be untrue with no reported cases.  I'm not saying that by way of guarantee, but it was good enough for me.




#15717 your thoughts please

I very much like the b&w image and can't suggest how it be improved. The colour image is fine as a capture but I think the problem is it is uninteresting. Just a problem with subject choice really. A big black outline of the castle says nothing to me because the outline is not an eye catching shape. Hope this helps.

Just as well as with horizontals. The strap has enough give in it for it not to interfere with your attempted positioning of the camera and the connecting mechanism allows the camera to easily slip to vertical.

The extent to which verticals work as well as horizontal shots is shown by the fact that I could not remember any difference between the two and, faced with your question, had to go back to the strap to see if I could find a difference. I couldn't.

Finally purchased and have been using for 2 months now one of these camera straps. The camera sits on the hip rather than the chest and so there is no tiredness in the neck from the weight of the camera after an hour or so. Access to take a photo is great as the camera slides along the strap when raised. At first I was nervous about the camera hanging uncovered at my hip but completely relaxed about that now and I'm finding that I am now carrying my camera more often.

I can't believe I took so long to get one of these and ditch my camera's original strap.

I heartily recommend this product when out and about using a single lens.


#8906 What computer do you use?

Posted by funny peculiar on 14 November 2013 - 01:12 PM

iMac 27 inch. I love the screen size for editing photos because I can arrange the palettes I am working with around the photo.

#4000 SD Cards: Which ones do you like?

Posted by funny peculiar on 15 October 2013 - 01:11 PM

I am using one 16GB Sandisk and an 8GB card called Adata. i havent noticed a difference in write speed.

I have two slots and shoot in duplicate, using one for Raw and one for jpeg. I have two different sized cards, which is apparently not a good idea when used in this way if at risk of filling the smaller card and will eventually get round to getting a second Sandisk

Really like this lens. Originally bought it for macro work but found I haven't yet got into that. I use it for "street" portraiture as its a useful size for that on a full frame camera. Always carry it now. Sample photo taken last week attached.image.jpg

#2691 Hi From Wellington, New Zealand

Hi

 

Just joined.  Always had Nikon cameras and recently bought a D600 to return to full frame.  I like most genres of photography but consider myself as only a lower end intermediate.  Feel free to view my meagre photostream on Flickr under my username funny peculiar.

 

3 photos I took yesterday attached :)
