Well I guess I don't have steady hands
I haven't taken too many shots yet as its been far from ideal conditions - flat grey midwinter light, and these last few days wet and windy too
. But I have done enough to realise that the basic 70-300 is next to useless in these conditions. It reacts very poorly to low light and really needs a tripod to produce a steady image.
My next investment I think will be the new 18-200 VR lens. It has enough range that it should be the only lens I need for the time being, and has the second gen VR technology so should hopefully help to eliminate the camera shake. It looks good value too - should be able to cover half the cost by selling my current 2 lenses.
Here's a couple of shots I managed to take while the cat was sitting still. I tried to take some more in the garden but everytime was getting myself set up in position she just came running up to me to see what I was doing before I could shoot anything
