That is *superb*. I only wish I could use a full size camera.
Unfortunately, because I have essential nervous tremor in one hand, the
small Pnasonic Lumix I use is just about my weight. I'm full of admiration
for photos like yours.

Then what you need is a monopod provided your little camera has a place to
screw one in, even a lot of compact cameras do. I often leave mine attached
to the camera and just extend it as required.
