The slow walk along the path at Awabakal nature reserve near Redhead got slower as we continually discovered lovely photographic subjects in all directions. Here Radar & Stubbsy pause for the recording of yet another winner.

Nice shot Col. Really gives a feel for the area and the wattle in bloom. I think I have one or two wattle shots from the day somewhere :roll:

I had a chuckle at the title of this thread, and then I wondered how stubbsy kit would fit into a sling shot, surely there is another bag with the rest of his stuff out of frame ;P

Craig,

I'm carrying it for him :wink: :wink:

Actually it all fitted in there. He did leave the 70-200 at home.

Col, nice capture. It is nice how it shows the wattles and the carpet of white flowers. YAW for Peter (Yet Another Wattle :lol: )

cheers,

André

I'm surprised by the room actually I got a Slingshot in Singapore for a bargain under $80, I took it for its first outing last night and I left the 80-200 and 70-300G at home (not the that the G gets out much anyway) and it fitted everything I needed, I haven't mastered the art of putting it on, but other then that I'm most happy with it. (my 4th camera bag now, I almost have one for every occasion).

As André said, the slingshot 200 had all my gear except for the 70-200 and SB800. Unfortunately there isn't a way I've worked out to fit in my water bladder. Other than that I'm happy with it - holds D2x, 28-70, 50, 12-24 and 10.5 fisheye plus spare battery, sunscreen, drugs, bandaids, ear plugs, filters....

It's my 4th camera bag and replaces my Nova 4 which I found too awkward to use. If I'm taking the 70-200 I'll use the minitrekker. If I need room for clothes and the like I'll take the computrekker.

Stubbsy perhaps you need to think "outside the bag" and use one of the external loops for attaching you water bladder. Last night I had D70, 50, kit lens, 10-20, SB-800, SC-29, PSD, 3 batteries, torch, P&S camera, lens plates, spanner, and then katie's incidentals (phone, wallet, keys) and still had room for more (but not a lot more.. maybe a fisheye and an 85mm?)
