True, but VR makes things easier and gets shots that couldn't be gotten otherwise. One should know how to shoot without any gadgets- even a meter- but it's no crime to use it when called for.

1. Press the browser re-size button. 100% isn't going to look pretty, sure, but smaller sizes will.
2. The noise problem isn't as bad as it's made out to be; it's noise reduction that's the problem, solvable by shooting RAW. At anything but long exposures like this, ISO 100 is clean. 200 usually is. 400 is a little messy, but usable. I've even used 800 in a pinch, but it was very obviously noisy. 1250 is shit.
I used ISO 100 for three reasons: habit of sticking to the lowest ISO possible, the request for a two second exposure (of course, I could've stopped down, but meh), and the desire to keep the camera's noise reduction to a minimum, since it does the least at ISO 100 and I didn't want to process a RAW file for this demonstration.
