[QUOTE="grandpaw, post: 356820, member: 8635"] Mike, I in no way meant it as a negative toward anyone's method of shooting. Some use a tripod and probably most shoot multiple frames to get a shot but to me whatever works for the person doing the shooting and gets the results they want is the best method! There are always many ways of getting the same shot and the only wrong method is the one that prevents you from getting the image that you are after. For me I find that shooting the way I do works for me and results in a much higher keeper rate and after all isn't that what we are all trying to achieve? I also shoot mainly in "aperture priority mode" and sometime will shoot in "shutter priority mode". I have friends of mine that insist that to be a good photographer that shooting in "Manual mode" is the only way to go but I find it too slow for me and only shoot in "Manual" when I am using "fill flash". I also have a tendency to use wider F stops to make the background blur so the subject will pop out more but all of these methods work for me and the style of image that I'm looking for. Does this mean that I'm right and others are wrong if they don't do it the same as I do? well certainly not, it just means we have different styles and ways of achieving what we are looking for so for me the right way of doing things is the way that works best for you. Many times when I have posted images since getting the Tamron 150-600mm lens I have added that it was shot handheld at 600mm. The reason I did this was to let you know that the VC works well and that it can be shot handheld if your are able to hold it up and if you technique while shooting longer focal lengths is good. I made a point of saying that it was also shot at 600mm to let everyone see what this lens could do at full zoom which should be it's weakest focal length and that shooting at anything less than that should be even better quality.
