Labrador With Backpack Camera

Now that Im a retired senior with seldom more subjects to photograph than my girlfriends black Labrador, Sir Raven, nothing would please me more than a firmware update inclusive of animal eye AF!

I took advantage of Wanda's black Labrador puppy on Saturday while she was out shopping. He's ordinarily hyper, but tends to pout while she's not home. Given my fair eyesight on a good day, I knew I wouldn't come away with many keeper photos having to manually focus them @ F1.2 under dim light. These photos of Raven are among the first I ever took with this lens, and it's been at least 20 years since I've manually focused any lens. Labrador Retriever puppies are notorious for untidying home interiors and keeping them that way. This lens's F1.2 ability came in handy in defocusing the background in the one photo.

I bought this bag for traveling as my Labrador chose to chew on my Version 1 tote. The things that weren’t quite working for me with the 1, were redesigned with the 2. Holds my gear, my documents and other needed travel items. Fits nicely under a plane seat and easier to carry with the included padded strap. Love it. Keeping it out of reach of my Lab.

I've only used it for shots of my Labrador so far but I'm really looking forward to trying some people portraits with it. When you need more than a diffuser and less than a full size softbox, this is a great alternative.

This is the best camera backpack, let alone just backpack ever

I use the BlackRapid Backpack Breathe Camera Strap with a Lowepro ProTactic Backpack. One side of the strap connects perfectly to the rings located on the front of the backpack's shoulder straps and the other side connects onto a loop on the bottom of the pack on the other side. The BlackRapid backpack strap allows me to have quick access to my camera. With the camera on the BlackRapid strap, I no longer need to bring my backpack to my side to remove and use my camera. I now use my backpack only to store and change lenses. My camera can now remain outside my backpack, located conveniently to my side at hip level. When I want to shoot, the camera slides smoothly up the camera strap to eye level. I like that the camera hangs upside-down when resting on the strap. It makes for an easy get to position when my camera is resting at my side. This strap is amazingly slick and fun to use. I have to admit that I find myself playing around with it, like I'm some sort of gunslinger, showing off how quick I can be on the draw. I appreciate the movable clips provided on the BlackRapid camera strap. The two clips are easily adjusted, allowing me to restrict the movement of the camera to stay in one place on the strap when I am planning not to shoot. All of the attachment parts seem well made and designed. I keep the bottom strap strapped to the bottom of my backpack and store the rest of the strap in a small pocket on my backpack when I am not using the strap. Then, all I have to do is remove the strap from the small backpack pocket and connect the free end to the opposite shoulder strap . . . and I'm ready to go! I wish the piece that that screws into the camera (Camera Socket Attachment) was designed so that the camera could sit flat when attached, and if the design of the socket attachment would permit a tripod or mono-pod to be screwed into it without having to unscrew it from the camera. I absolutely love the BlackRapid Backpack Breathe Camera Strap!

Perfect way to protect lens in camera backpack.

I sometimes use this for a small camera bag but mostly use it as a general backpack.
