What is hanging around your neck? Do you use a neck strap for your camera? If you have a DSLR you probably have one.
If you get anything out of this post it should be this:
ALWAYS HAVE YOUR CAMERA SECURED TO YOUR BODY.
I have a friend that was on vacation recently and while changing lenses he dropped his camera body into the water. Needless to say, he had to buy a new camera body.
I switched over to a neoprene neck strap in the beginning of 2011 and it made a WORLD of difference. It is probably one of the best upgrades to my gear and it cost under $20.
The neoprene strap makes your camera feel TANGIBLY lighter. Although a DSLR is not "heavy" per se, carrying it around your neck all day photographing a wedding takes its toll.

Upgrading to the neoprene strap also stops your neck from being an advertisement of what kind of camera you have.
Sorry for being a bad example of having a neck strap and not using it, this was taken 4 years ago.
The one that I currently use is the OP/TECH Classic Strap.
Does your camera have a neck strap or a wrist strap? Do you use it?
