Mary, try looking into mono pods, I have a Leki stick & love it. Helps me
keep my old arthritic knees
in balance as well as the camera.
Cheers Wendy

Did you use a tripod for this, Bob?

Yes, the wind was blowing the flowers about and if I'd have been trying
to hand hold the camera as well there was not much chance of a decent
photo.

The wind - even the slightest breeze - is my problem too.

Can I ask what tripod/ I'm going to ned one, my 50 year old is past its
best :-(

So's my old Stitz although it's not quite that old. Broken a leg clip
dropping it on concrete!

Mine was never a really good one, it was adequate for my Ilford Sportsman
but not the new 400. I couldn't afford anything better in my teens :-(
