[QUOTE="AC016, post: 132236, member: 9619"] My first DSLR was a D3000 and i took hundreds upon hundreds of pictures of aircraft landing and taking off. I always had VR on - it does not hurt. Never sacrifice shutter speed when doing this. Get it up to atleast 1/1000, don't be shy about it. From my D3000, i have some very nice 8 x 11s hanging on my wall of some A330s, 737, Embraers, etc. Out of the thousands of pictures that i have taken (with D3000, D5100, D80) of aircraft, only a handful came out soft and i put that down to operator malfunction, lol. The D3100 is very capable of doing what you want to do. As i always say, when panning, follow through with your pan. Don't stop once you take the picture. It's just like skeet shooting:) Good luck [/QUOTE]
