The other day, I took my family to one the of the farmer markets. I thought it would be a good idea to test my strength by taking my Canon 5D with one lens. I took off the battery pack, and the only lens I took was a 100mm f2.8 macro. This is an old lens, and it doesn’t focus fast, which made me miss a few great opportunities. Next time I know to take either the 85mm or 50mm. All the photos were shot from the hip. Just let the camera hang using the Black Rapid R-Strap . Just had my hand on the camera, and basically moved it, pretending to avoid hitting people with it. Because the lens was so slow at focusing, I missed a few great opportunities, but still managed to come out with a few good shots. At least I think so![]()
Enjoy!

These are awesome! Great captures, even though shot from the hip:)
I have never really tried it- so your photos are definitely good inspiration to try one day!
