( i'll have to guess as my histograms only show up after a shot in playback mode). sometimes when i don't have my tripod (or mini one) with me, i take my strap and hook it tight around things - like hang it from a tree branch or around a railing...works very well.<br /> <br /> @jpike: if you're using film, keep a lookout for black's boxing week specials - they've been known to clear out 200 iso film for $3.99 (or cheaper) with processing included.

Seems to work quite well, but you will need extra time to process the photos afterwards... I've typically not done any post-processing, so I will probably only reserve this method for shots that I really want to turn out exceptionally well. <br /> <br /> I have a tiny tripod, which I bring with me mostly everywhere. Haven't thought about a monopod. Have you found that they help considerably for taking shots with slower shutter speeds? <br /> <br /> That's pretty cool that you got a hold of an SLR camera as well! Working with film could get a bit expensive after a while though... but sure lots more fun!

Never thought about reducing the noise by changing exposure. <br /> <br /> As for pods, have you ever considered investing in a monopod? They're basically single legged tripods (in case you didn't gather that from the name) that allow you some more support while still offering you flexibility in movement, as they really shrink down very well. I think they're great ideas for photographers who don't have time to set up a tripod for every shot. <br /> <br /> Also, just a note, I've actually got ahold of a 35mm SLR, so I'll be working with film for a little while :)
