Hi Everyone! I'm Angela and I'm one of the Black Rapid winner! I'm so excited as I'm one of those people that never win anything LOL… can't say that anymore can I  …
Anyway, been meaning to join the forum since finding out about it, but with 2 children (one a serious handful of an 18 month old!), running our own business, and generally LIFE I never got round to it. Thankfully, I got up early this morning and saw that I won which reminded me to come right on over ..
Anyway, I'm from the outer outer-south east of Melbourne, and just shoot for the fun of it (and mainly my children  ). I've got a 7D, and my newest baby the 35L and I have to say that I'm loving the combination. Looking to go Full Frame in the future, but after buying the 35 that will have to wait until next year I think!
Anyway, great to be here… and thank you
(oh, and sorry for the ramble)
Angela

Under the reply box are three choices. Put cursor over the one you wish, and it's done .
You will then get trillions of e-mails, just like when it is your birthday.

As for me I unsubscribe to all in user CP (there is a post somewhere telling how to do this), and when I open shuttertalk I click on 'view todays posts' at the top under search, member list and calendar.

Congrats and sorry  … ahh, I can see the subscribe buttons now. I think that it must have automatically subscribed me to this thread as I did get notification . Will look into the "view todays posts" option.. but have to admit, I do like getting emails!

Well we are all getting up to speed with the new style Shuttertalk and any problems just shout out. Someone will sort it out for you, and it will come in handy for the rest of us.
We have been on another server for a number of years, and like most things there are pro's and cons.

Hey Angela, congrats and welcome to Shuttertalk! I'm loving the new influx of Canon users - I've got a 7D too, and like you I shoot mainly my kids.
Oh and I'm from Melbourne too.
Glad you got the subscription thing sorted out - let me know if you experience any other issues or need anything in general round here.

Hi Angela,
Welcome! (Although I'm a newbie too!)
I am also from Melbourne's outer east - near the Yarra Valley and recently upgraded to a Canon 600D after previously using a super-zoom compact camera.
I'll try not to hold it against you that you won the Black Rapid strap! You will have to let us know how you like it. I've been looking at the sling straps and decided on Black Rapid but am not sure which style would suit me best. One thing I'm wondering about the RS-7 is if it can be worn either way. I'd prefer to wear the strap on my right shoulder but all the pictures show it worn on the left.

Thanks Anne.. love your area . I grew up in Monbulk and then moved to Toolangi for a few years… I do miss it. We've now moved to the outskirts near Pakenham.
I'll let you all know how I go with the strap. Funny you should mention way of wearing it as I've read that it's better on the right shoulder LOL… I'm more of a right shoulder wearer, but I think I can go either if it comes to it.

Just to chime in with the RS-7 - you can wear it on either shoulder, although with one caveat. The clip will be at your back if worn on the left shoulder, and it will be at your front if worn on the right. It's just a bit of plastic that may bother you or get in the way at the front - but on the plus side it makes releasing your strap easier if you take it off often.
Here's our review of the RS-7 by the way.

Thanks for the info, and the review was excellent… I'm starting to think that I might be a left shoulder person as the camera would then be on my right side (I'm right handed)

Ooo thanks!
Yes, that's the best way IMHO for right handed people...
