Lowepro adds SlingShot 300 AW to its line of sling bags. Lowepro has recently announced the SlingShot 300 AW, the third model in its SlingShot line of sling-style camera bags. The 300 AW is the largest of the lineup and is designed to carry a pro SLR body (or two) with five or six lenses, plus accessories. [Rob Galbraith DPI]
I use the Slingshot 200 AW and like it a lot. It combines the features of a traditional camera back with the carrying features of a backpack. My 200 AW handles my small DSLR plus four lenses and a few other odds and ends, and swings around from the backpack-style carrying position for quick access to the gear. The 300 AW sounds like it is substantially larger, and it addes some additional features to the existing design.
George Barr has posted an interesting piece in which he describes the process he used to arrive at a final black and white photograph of an interior shot. He covers both technical issues and esthetic considerations.

The story: I was driving up to the Tuolumne Meadows area to meet a backpacking buddy for our final pack trip of the 2006 season. I had heard reports of snow on the road and a temporary closure so I decided not to leave for the mountains the night before but to instead get up very early and drive straight up to the trailhead. I drove into the park and turned left onto Tioga Pass Road… only to come to a road closure a mile later. I had just seen this foggy, frost-covered meadow which, on a typical drive to a pack trip I might have passed, thinking, “I really should stop and take a photo.” With the road closed, I had no excuse so I pulled out the camera and tripod and wandered off into the frost covered grasses.
