Professional Wildlife Photographer And Guide
Not sure if this is the correct section for this question, but hoping someone can help.
For the last 18 months, I have been out and about at every given opportunity, with the camera (350D / 40D + 100-400mm) hung around my neck, walking around loads to take pics of birds and wildlife.
Recently I have noticed that where the camera bounces off of my stomach, the area of skin / muscle underneath has become very painful and sensitive, so in the last fortnight I have made a conscious effort to hold the camera away from me as I walk along, so it doesn't prod me.
So, how do the rest of you carry the camera around, so it's rapidly available for a shot, i.e. not bagged, but not bouncing around and being a pain in the gut.
I've tried it hung from my shoulder, but it slides off, and that's concerning given the price of it!
Any ideas?
