Sports shooters very often use monopods with big glass, though
you're probably more likely to see a 400 f/2.8 with a teleconverter
than a 500 f/4. My guess is that nature shooters are more apt to
use a tripod, but a monopod sure is a lot better than hand-holding.
This is outside turn 1 at the St. Petersburg Grand Prix CART race
of a few weeks ago.

Man, I can't believe you guys actually saw camera gear in that photo. Where's your priorities?

There is actually only one manufacturer of camera straps. OpTech.
Oh yes, there are other companies that make things that LOOK like camera straps, but only OpTech actually makes the real thing.
I have been using them for everything from Hassey's down to my Nikons. You cannot go wrong with OpTech.

Yeah, I had trouble spotting the lens also...
Reminds me of a funny moment several years ago, somewhat related. Ducked into a public men's restroom to use the facilities. Had my N8008 with 300mm lens slung over my shoulder. Standing at the urinal, some guy next to me glances over and says, "man, that's a big one you got there." Immediately he says, "the lens, the lens, I was talking about the lens!!" and then laughed. My wife thought it was funny anyway...

i'm in the san francisco bay area. we have a handful of import shows here, but nothing like what they have down in southern cal.
i go to the shows whenever i can. i have some car show galleries on pbase if you're interested. my old coolpix 990 was much better for car shows (wider field of view, higher depth of field) than my d1 or d100.

Hey, for you guys who photograph car shows, do you guys just come as normal guest or are you working for the magazines, websites or for the promoters? I'm interested in shooting some events, but I'm not interested in paying freakin' $20-$25 just to get in. I'm located in socal. So any replies would be appreciated. Thanks!

I get in usually with media passes. I have a website that does event coverages. Usually if you work for a media coverage or something you can email or sometimes they will even email you about media passes.

anthony, do you need a west coast rep for your website?
jonathan, i've always paid to get into the car shows. gets expensive, but i don't have any other way to get in. if you love cars then you'll be going to the shows anyway. one time i entered my car in the show, so i was able to get in before the crowds showed up, but that cost me $50.
