No Tripod? No Problem!
It’s true, a tripod is a landscape photographer’s best friend, especially in near
darkness. Yet, there are definitely occasions where carrying one is just not possible.
With a bit of ingenuity, you can still create sharp photographs. The key is to set your
camera to the two second timer. Compose your shot with the camera resting on a
rock or bag and press the shutter release. The timer will count down for two seconds.
This is enough time to eliminate any camera shake before firing. Using this technique,
you can still use very long shutter speeds even without a tripod.
