Call me odd, but I couldn’t resist making a desktop out of this image. I hope you enjoy a bit of a prairie breeze.

A little while ago a friend of mine David duChemin ran a bit of a contest for some new types of camera straps. They were BlackRapid’s R-Strap. No unfortantely he did not pick me (DOH!), but I did do some more research into these straps and man, what an awesome evolution of the camera strap this is. 

Yes, that is excitement you read there, excitement about a camera strap. I never thought that I would ever get excited about a camera strap either, but these are so different from any other out there that they deserve some face time. Now most will look at the strap - like I did - and just see your usual strap without much difference from another. What actually sold me was the video they had posted, while it is corny, it explains how it works and why it is so revolutionary. Watch the video HERE.

These are fairly expensive for a camera strap, but I feel that they allow the user to hold your camera in such a different and better way that it’s worth it. I’ve ordered two and will have a quick review of them once I get them.
