[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 571327, member: 16749"] I seem to be occasionally capable of feats of exceptional rock-steadiness in holding my camera. VR certainly helps, though. I don't know, for example, if I would have been able to take this picture without it; most people certainly couldn't. [ATTACH=CONFIG]221684._xfImport[/ATTACH] This was at a church Halloween party last year. The exposure time was 1.6 seconds. No tripod. I was not leaning myself nor my camera on any other object to steady it. I was standing, in a fairly normal stance. You can see that people and a few objects in the shot were moving, and were blurred as a result, but the static objects in the shot are not blurred noticeably. Then, there was this shot, from a few days ago, one of a dozen candidates I am considering to enter in the current Weekly Challenge. [ATTACH=CONFIG]221685._xfImport[/ATTACH] Exposure time, one second, even. The image looks deceptively like it is very brightly lit. Actually, the scene was very dark. Again, just me standing in a normal stance, no tripod, no other support. I don't know if I could have made this shot without VR. [/QUOTE]
