Yes, a 70-200mm lens could definitely get in the way or roll off my lap (which is why I've never done that). I used to have a camera bag in the passengers side footwell, but the majority of my stuff is currently in a storage locker. I may settle for having the camera bag between the seats unzipped & camera loosened bit.Cute little fellas. Nice pose too.
I have seen some folks do the camera on the lap driving. It can be very distracting.
Yeah, way too cute.They are definitely being quite friendly to you Monika - and cute while posing for their portraits.
