Once again, Photojojo inspired me. A while ago they had a tutorial on there blog (or what the call a newsletter) about how to make a cover for your camera strap. It's not that I really needed this tutorial to get it done, but it reminded me that I had been wanting to improve the strap. It had been bothering me for a while.

 

My camera is a Nikon D80. The Camera itself has a nice weight. Not too light, not too heavy. But when you attach a heavy lense to it, the camera strap will start getting uncomfortable after carrying it around your neck for a while. The edge of it will start rubbing especially if you walk a lot and the camera dangles.

So when I saw the tutorial on Photojojo I saw it as a nice way of improving the feel of the strap rather than the look. What I did was, I took black jersey cloth for the inside of the strap. For the outside I just chose something, that looked nice.

Here's how it turned out - it looks awesome and feels sooooo good. ;)

 

A little tip at the end: I decided to fix the cover to the strap, so that it won't start to get crinckly. I just sowed the ends of the cover to the strap. It makes it less removable but even more comfy!
