Help required, I am taking photos at a cycling event next week.I will be using my D3 plus 70-200 vr nikon zoom. I will be shooting at a fixed speed of 1/500 and using infill flash. Now the question is whether to turn the VR off ? I have read that at this sort of speed the VR can knock the...

I'm never to sure what lens to use for a sunset.
