Any time you make the camera truly immobile via tripod or a stable object like a chair,, you have to turn off VR, or it may actually be less sharp. The VR is designed for unsteady humans, and is expecting that slight movement to compensate. when rock steady, the VR can actually induce shake!

which is why, I just don't bother, and on my lens with VR, mostly keep off. The exception is my 55-300 Zoom, because I often do hand carry this lens, and in that case the VR is a welcome addition.

I actually dread the day that for marketing purposes, Nikon starts putting VR into all their Primes,, yuck,, adds bulk, and size to the lens.

I am actually in favor of putting the VR into the Camera, and eliminate all the VR trend in the
lens, would reduce weight/complexity/size, and well cost since the investment is more in the lens then the camera.

Helpful advice...i have been wondering and experimenting with VR and see your point.

Hi Eye-Level, well let me tell you that I'm a newbie, the level 0! I don't have any idea what are you talking about :p I'm so sorry but I'm not very (at all!) knowledgeable in terminology. I just take pictures with my awesome camera, I just feel what I have to take. that's the main reason why I'm here... to learn.

Gear - your camera and lens or lenses! I've only been at this for a few years now I am a beginner in many ways as well! I damn sure ain't no pro! :)

Chile huh? I bet Chile is beautiful! The national flower is pretty darn cool if I may say so myself...

ohhhh I understand! I'm using a D-3100 and the lens 18-55 mm. this one came with the camera :). yeah Chile, it has amazing places, I will be uploading pictures later on so you can see a little more than flowers. 2 weeks ago went to the Chain Mountains and got some good ones!....one more thing to say, the more you learn, the more you think "I do not know anything :p"

PS. hope you can understand my primitive English :p

Yes sir...you are exactly right...the more you learn the less you know...somebody famous must have said that! :)

The 18-55 is the only zoom auto focus lens I have. It was given to me by a generous member here on the board a few months back and I haven't really throttled it. I am going to pass it along again because I am stuck on primes and just not interested in automatic anything really but it is a great all around/walk around lens for a crop camera.

The 3100 is a fine camera because it can use all of the Nikkors even pre AI. The F mount by Nikon is the secret to the system.

#759 is first rate...I would suggest starting a series of snaps of flowers...made in the exact same manner as these. It would be cracking I bet. Just look at how your lens is drawing in #759...maybe you will learn a new angle of approach with the lens if you study the flowers... It is a do over with a different flower. I hope to see some more in this vein sir. Sorry for sounding like a lunatic but I really think you are on to something with #759.
