Whatever you get, it is worth its weight in gold to get a tripod. I have a
standard one and a mini, fold-up one which fits into a handbag. Also if you
are doing close-ups, get a friend to stand out of shot and hold the flower
still :-)



Don't think Glen Chantry etc would welcome clomping great feet on their
flower beds but I take your point
