cheapest thing to make better pics <-- pics inside

[Abel]

cheapest thing to make better pics is a $10 mini tripod.... this has been by far the coolest thing i have gotten since i got into photography.... they make for awesome night time images!

ferris wheel like a 3 second exposure:


carousel like 2 second exposure:


another delayed exposure shot:


if you guys dont have one, i definitely recommend buying one! they are very easy to tote around with you since they can fit in your back pocket!

by far the best one i found for smaller point and shoot cameras is a Quantaray - QT II-25 EZ Compact Tripod from Wolf Camera

Now that i own a heavier cam i had to make the jump to a Bogen/Manfrotto 3007 Mini Tripod w/ 482 Mini Ball Head. it ran me like $43 but it is VERY stable for my hefty dslr!



anyways I thought i would offer up that little bit of advice...
