I’ve done a lot of research online and yet to come up with a difinitive solution. When I do I’ll post it here.Generally I was of the opinion that one should NOT use VR “On” with a ‘pod as it can confuse the VR. But with VRII that has changed somewhat.

In the interim here is the official position of Nikon with some of their VR’s when used on a tripod.

Freedom (Road Trip)

Freedom (Road Trip) (c) HarveyG Photography

I noticed this image appear in the mirror driving home yesterday and conjured up this concept of a road trip with no-one else in sight.  Stopped the car in the rain, grabbed the D90 and bolted across the road to get a few shots. I waited until only one car was visible coming over the rise to get that feeling of independence and freedom that the open road is renowned for.

Photo 101: As a photographer you should ALWAYS look behind you, especially when shooting.
