You've certainly had a good time in the Cairngorms, another lovely shot!

Thanks both!

It was an absolutely brilliant week Kevin, and I can't thank Pauline and Ian enough for the opportunity.

I love this shot, I notice that you have your VR switched off on your shots. I'm purplexed, how are you getting such crystal clear shots without it on??? .

Thanks Steve. For this shot I was using a beanbag resting on the car window frame, and I'm nearly always resting the lens on something. About the only time I truly handhold is when trying for flight shots and then I've generally got good enough light for a high shutter speed.

But you're not the first to ask and there's a thread discussing the merits of VR and my reasons for switching it off at http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/fo...-vr-worth.html
