From Blackheath to Jenolan Caves
Few more photos from that amazing weekend. Some taken on Saturday in Blackheath, some - on the road from Blackheath to Jenolan Caves
Also, I should confess that on Saturday, when everyone went to the pub (where we could not go because Taya is 15) we went to the other side of railway and I manged to take a couple of sunset photos. Didn't want to tell to no one until I check if there is anything good

You were a busy boy! Nice work! The lighting up there was pretty crappy but you sure made it work for you. Like your close-up of the waterfall...trying to figure out what lens you used? Regards

Mikhail,
Nice shots, but some of them look so familiar...  BTW: I might be wrong on this, but I think that the waterfall is Bridal Veil Falls... Horseshoe Falls are to the North of Govatt's Leap Lookout...Cheers, John

The 1st shot of the falls is good, but the second shot (image 3 on the site) of them is awesome - shows of the 80-400 VR well. DId you have VR off for the shot, given you were using a tripod? I really like the first 2 shots at Collier lookout too (the thrid one just doesn't work, but I'm not sure why) The shot of the two windmills - I'd be incline to completely crop out the foreground area to remove the fence. Another fine bunch of photos from you. Thanks for sharing them. Peter

Chris, Peter, thanks!
Peter, VR was ON because it was to windy and my little manfrotto tripod might be shaken Mikhail

1/ "VR On" won't work with tripod and result is blurring! Spot on! 2/ Great to hear your experiences about the Manfrotto leg was shaken caused by windy, hehehehehe  Birddog114

1. VR ON works on tripod fine - my night images of Opera House and the City were made wit VR ON on tripod. No blurring 2. Not exactly. It's wasn't shaken by wind - it's a Pro Loop strap was waving by wind and it was shaking the camera. So, I'm going to continue using it and not going to buy new one in the nearest future Mikhail

Birdy, Can you exlain why using the VR function with a tripod would make the image blurry??? I don't understand that

Nikon D3 and lot's of Nikon stuff!!
1/ My experiences and its manual mentioned: "VR OFF" when on tripod. I stick with the book and my knowledges. 2/ I have Pro Loop Straps hanging on my cameras and it was windy at the Heads same as Blue Point shoot on "my cheap" tripod, but my cameras were steady and no shaken!!!!!! Birddog114

Read the manual Birddog114

Nikon states that the VR should be turned off when the lens is mounted on a tripod. I have used it with VR on when on a monopod with no adverse effects. The reason for this is the gyro is meant to dampen the movement caused while handheld, if there is no movement because it is locked down on a tripod the VR will fight against this.
and another of my thoughts In situations when you don't need VR as when shutter speed is fast enough to avoid shake the advantages of turning it off are 1. VR slows down acquisition. The focus is just as fast, but you have to wait for the VR system to engage. If you shoot while it's still engaging, you get a very blurry shot. 2. VR drains battery power pretty significantly.
