Man, I gotta get me one of those straps. I never use a strap at all, but I totally want a D800 strap to stick on my D3100.

The dude does look weirdly furtive, doesn't he? Do we all look like that when we're taking a picture? I gotta say my first reaction was 'ugh, photograph of a photographer, not again' but I think I see a little bit of what you saw here.

Who's stealing a moment from whom here, eh? Was there a third photographer taking a picture of both of you?

I use the black rapid when I'm shooting my 70-200 with the teleconverter. The D7000 is already a heavy camera and combined, it's a beast to lug around without some additional support. For everyday, I have an old camera strap I had when I was in high school. It's quite colorful (well, was, it's quite faded now) and I've attached two small carabiner type clips so I can snap it on and off quickly.

Yes, I think we do. I'm always surprised when I see photos of myself working, I seem to be forever hunched over looking, well, furtive.
