Hi Roman!

I am truly impress with your choice of objects and the intensity of the colors in your photographs. However, I do have a question for you and the members of the forum. I have been a fan of photography since I was a boy scout! But only recently was I able to buy a Nikon D50 with a 18-55mm and 55-200mm lens. My question regards the use of tripod. You seem very confident about the use of tripods when photographing. Does that mean that you do not think much of the, for example, Nikon DX VR lenses or the Canon image stabilizers? The VRs are pricey and I do not want to make a mistake! I will immensely appreciate your opinion and that of others. Greetings from the land of the cheese heads! I am one by the way!
