[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 39149, member: 16"] It has little to do with situations being well lit. It has everything to do with unintended camera motion. Try this little experiment: take a small penlight, go into the bathroom, turn the bathroom lights out. Turn on the penlight and shine it on the mirror. See how steady you can keep your light on one spot while holding your arm straight out. That's the kind of shake you DON'T want in your camera or lens. :) It also has to do with shutter speed, aperture and subject. Are you shooting something that's moving fast? Is it static? Far away? Near? I would suggest you experiment with your gear and see what works for you. Maybe you're one of those rare individuals that has rock steady hands and you don't need a tripod or monopod. If you're not, then a tripod and/or monopod is for you. Unless you like blurry photos. ;) This might also help you in explaining VR: [url]http://bythom.com/nikon-vr.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
