It's great when you convince your friends to act silly on a bridge (with the Atlanta skyline as your backdrop). This is "Hadouken"--a street fight scenario ala comics. Now imagine me taking the shot with everyone else's camera gear and purses around my neck (with my full camera pack on my back). Ahhh, photowalks are really quite adventuresome.
Haha, would so love to go on a photowalk with you! I also ordered the backpack you have recommended. It should come in the next week or so, and I'm really looking forward to it!
@888rachel We should make it happen! Wow, I'm so glad folks are getting the backpack! I should contact Lowepro and see if I could be a spokesperson! @taffy did you get yours?
@darylo I did notice that when bundled up in winter clothes -- down jacket, scarves, etc, it does not slide around very easily, but I think that's just the way it will be. The alternative was to loosen the hip belt but that means giving up some of the support. It's great though -- fully loaded, with tripod, it was so easy to wear / carry on my back! And I love that nothing is accessible to pickpockets given the way the zipper works for the main compartment.
