"Before idiots arrived"?? I don't grok?? Lots of bullet holes associated with the RA in Nine Mile Canyon too. Nice restoration, too bad it's not possible on-site!
If your lens has a mounting foot, then you might try a leather pliers holster that fits on your belt. I use one with my Sigma 150-500 — a big, heavy lens — and it works fine. You can pick one up in the tool department at Home Depot or your local hardware store for less than $15.00.
It works best if you have a "sling" type camera strap. All the weight is taken on your belt. See the two photos below.
The other morning I was able to catch a few strikes before the deluge started. It was dark enough and the lightning was plentiful so I was able to open the shutter for several seconds and catch whatever strikes happened along. These are the best of about twenty shots. Bulb, mirror up.
Nice work! I'm familiar with the technique but admit that I've never tried it. Now you've piqued my interest.
Sure, since I use LR, I have a great way to find images, but I want the selected images on the UHH server, not mine. The reason is in the second paragraph https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-694476-8.html#14545340
I use a jogger buggy with 20 inch rear wheels works well in rough terrain. it's what someone would push a child in when running. I carry two camera backpacks one with a Nikon D500 with vertical grip and Tamron 150-600 G2. The other a Nikon D850 with a vertical grip various lenses up to Nikon 80-400 2nd version. Plus folding chair, monopod, lunch, water, jacket. No weight on my back while hiking around. Works great as long as the trail is wide enough which most are. I'm in Colorado so up and down hills. Down can get a little tricky sometimes. Mine has a hand brake which helps to keep it under control.

Wow! I got the impression that he was looking for a simple solution for his 100-400 zoom. Did I misinterpret his post?
The point of this thread is to store selected images in UHH specifically in a location where I can easily find them. The selected images are likely to be used more than once so finding them is important to me.
It's easy to store an image in a thread, but the easy way places all images at the bottom of a post. To store an image within text in a post (e.g. https://static.uglyhedgehog.com/upload/2024/4/1/297160-algebra2.jpg) requires that the image be available on a secure server. I have such a server but when I expire (hopefully not soon, but I'm aging) my website will disappear because nobody will pay the hosting bill, and all my images will disappear with it. Since UHH is run on a secure server it is an ideal place to store those images independently of my website. If UHH expires, my images will disappear, but the threads will also disappear so it's a moot point.

Thanks for entertaining my question. Your reply just leaves me with more questions but if that works for you don't mind me.
14 photos into 1 photo. Actually it's photos of well know doors in Jefferson City, Mo. I turned this into a jig saw puzzles that sell in a local gift shop. Really 14 doors. Central Diary doors were ugly so I just used their large windows. Can you guess which gift shop sells the puzzles?
I managed to score a Canon 100 - 400mm zoom off Craig's list. I have a couple uses in mind where weight isn't an issue. But for just carrying it around hunting for birds or something... My arms got tired just testing it out in my backyard, and I'm not too thrilled about the prospect of the lens hanging from the body mount while carrying the camera with a camera body mounted neck strap.
I'm looking for alternate ideas to carry this thing. What are any of you folks using for heavy lenses?

This is no real answer for you but I'm just adding my two cents to the topic. When shooting youth sports (baseball, football, softball, soccer, etc.) with my 200-500mm, I simply use my hands and arms with a peak design hand strap or "clutch". When/if the weight gets to me, my easy solution is to set the camera and lens down for a few minutes break. I'm 77 years old and it has yet to interfere with or negatively affect my images.
I did... no offense intended but if you knew this would not be of much interest to others, why wouldn't you store this on your personal PC or iPad/ tablet?
If anyone wants to post an image, go right ahead, I'd love to see it. I collect these little 50's/60's radios and have about 350 on display. The first one was on the market in late 1954 and was a product of two companies, Texas Instruments and Ideal in Indianapolis.
Yep, October to be exact. A "pocket transistor" radio.
