I finally figured out VR: A few examples

#1 looks really cool in portrait orientation as well.

Thanks.. umm.. but I'm not able to visualize what you mean! How will this work in portrait orientation?

I rotated my neck 90 degrees to the left You would rotate it 90 degrees clockwise. Either way, SWEETNESS!

I get it now! And yes it does work that way as well, you have quite a vision there my friend.. Thanks so much for the nice word
@gsgary Thanks for disagreeing with me man, although it would really help to know what it is that you're disagreeing with. Just saying!

I like 1, I don't know how far I like one though. Like it is neat to look at, but if you didn't tell me I wouldn't really know wth I was looking at. which after a little would probably bother me more than make me like it. so it is neat, but.... to a point.

I disagreed that VR is a marvellous invention, it adds to the weight, size and price

Thanks for giving an honest feedback bribrius, we wouldn't really improve much if everyone of us looked at a photograph the same way.

Ok, I try really hard not to offend anyone, but you don't really think before you argue; do you?
Yes it adds to the weight, size and price and so does just about any other additional feature incorporated into any lens. Having a faster lens for example; your 300 f2.8 also adds to the weight, size and the price considerably and that comes at a price we are willing to pay for the additional features we gain, faster shutter speed in this case.
And if your point is that the additional weight and the size are not worth it in case of VR, these pictures speak for themselves. I tried the exact same shots at that time without the VR on, and I didn't PP even a single one of those shots.
I don't mind at all if you disagree with a certain point I (or anyone else) puts forward, I just request you to be a little more logical about it.

If you read my other posts I have sold the 300 it didnt have IS and I didn't need it I have never had it in the old day we didn't have, now everyone seems to need it because they don't know how to get the shot without it

*sigh* There are N things I have in my mind right now that shows exactly how lame the argument "in the old day we didn't have, now everyone seems to need it" is, but I realize now that it would be pointless to take this any further!

And in the old days they didn't have cameras that shot at 11fps and ISO 16000 etc etc etc. Your argument is Ill-formed and purposely inflammatory. Just because you can take a "good" shot at 1/30th @200mm doesn't mean you can't take a GREAT shot at the same settings with VR. Vibration reduction is a tool, just like everything else in photography. It's purpose is to be used, and I've found many a time when its HIGHLY useful. Heck, one of my favorite shots wouldn't have been possible without VR. Where I might have once needed a tripod and remote, I now need neither.

Also, do you actually provide useful posts? I swear all you do is troll, to me and other forum members, and it's getting old. If you have no useful input to help the OP out, then don't post at all. It's that simple.

I am partial to the first one as well. Great shot.

I think it's the abstract/highlighting that I like so much. It's a photo I find myself looking at over and over.

Thanks Sashbar, much appreciated! I think I might just get it printed

Yes, I couldn't figure out why I was liking this shot so much until Braineack pointed out the exact same thing. Thanks again Jake!
