Please share your techniques how do you make your shot sharp if your lens no VR or VC.
Any recommended position of the body, settings,...etc
thanks.

VR/VC is not everything, Ansel Adams had no VR/VC but he still took many amazing photos.
1. Very stable tripod, Very good head and use MLU with cable release.
2. Breathing technique, stand firmly or lean against strong support, hold yr breath, arms close to body, slowly squeeze the shutter button.
AA was a landscape shooter and he shot with large format cameras. Whole different ballgame. :sweat:
candycaine said:On top of whatever has already been said, it should be noted that VR/VC/IS is not a requirement for sharp photos. No way.
Not a requirement but you must admit that a 4-stop VR does help a lot
No, I have nothing to admit.
VR is yet another tool to help you get what you want. You use it only when you need it. For example: you use VR to counteract slight handshake when shooting handheld, but often turn off VR when shooting on a tripod, in case the VR system tries to compensate for "movement" that isn't actually present.
Also, you have to realise that 4-stop VR is an overstated claim more often than not- for example the Nikon 16-35mm f4 VR is said to have 4 stops of VR but when tested, only gives 1 stop to 2 stops (MAX) of VR.
Plus, VR or not, if you can't hold a camera reasonably still then VR can't save you anyway.
Those photojournalists and others in the older generation of film had no IS/VR. I personally feel that one must not be too reliant on IS/VR to get their shots.
Well let's agree to disagree, there's a reason why manufacturers come up with VR in their lenses and even camera bodies. If its not useful why would put it in? I'm sure no one will pay more for a lens that has a useless function. Not talking about tripods here cos VR is used to help with handheld shot.
Not saying that posture and breathing techniques are not important, they are, but VR can definitely help with a little camera shake
yep. IS is an advantage. but it isnt the only solution. handholdable speeds are 1/60-1/200, varies for each individual.
