@Golf007sd when I first got my Black Rapid the screw would loosen over time while simply wearing it. Scared me. I then got rid of the rubber grommet and replaced it with a very dense piece of round felt. Now, tightened down, it doesn't move - feels locked tight. The thick felt was a round chair leg scuff pad from Home Depot. I cut a hole in the center of it for the screw.
Taken from Gwangalli Beach, Busan, South Korea on March 22, 2014. It was the first day of spring, and judging from the people on the beach, love was in the air. My wife and I walked down to Gwangalli beach to enjoy the brisk morning, and we stopped alongside the beach to eat lunch. I wanted to catch a picture of Gwangan bridge on that crystal-clear sky, but this couple and their dog walked in front of me while I was taking the picture. I took a few more shots of the bridge that were unobstructed, but when I looked at the photos, I loved this picture specifically because of the couple and their dog that I just happened to catch by accident. I couldn't have lined up that photo and caught them in poses that naturally, with that kind of story built-in if I had tried.
It only becomes a plane if involved in what we call an "incident". The definition of "incident" is an event which involves the spending of a heck of a lot of money rather quickly. )
I think the best tip I've ever received about animal photography is don't be afraid to shoot from inside your car. This turned out to be one of my favorites..

It was just blind luck that a late geminid came in while the shutter was open in this one.
