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.

I posted before I read yours! Yes, those sticks are very useful.
