I posted this to the "Destinations" forum, but no answers. Since it is Nikon related, I'm reposting here:
My wife and I are doing one of the re-positioning cruises from Vancouver to Ketchikan, AK and then back to Seattle. I'm going to take my two D300s and assorted glass. My question relates to using VR lenses on a monopod/tripod while on the ship (one of the big Princess ships). What kind of vibrations should I anticipate and will VR help, and if so, what VR mode is best?
I'll also be doing a "Misty Fiords" boat trip on a much smaller vessel and I have the same question for that. My main lenses will be the 12-24mm, the 18-200mm and the 70-300 (the later two having VR). I'll also be using my 300 f4 w/1.4 for long reach so I'd like to use the monopod to help out there and it doesn't have VR.
Any tips or tricks and things to watch for or watch out for on this trip would be welcome.
Cheers,
