Are you using an SLR, compact digital or cell phone? I have a couple miniature tripods that literally fit in my coat pocket. You attach the camera and put it on a table or even the ground for a nice still shot.

 

Something like this works if your camera is small.

Just bought this... intended purpose is 1/5+ second exposures while hiking / city walking at night / dusk. I wanted something light enough that I can carry it in a daypack without noticing weight gain.

I recently bought a sony a5100. I know what you're thinking... SONY?!?!    I chose this camera for it's video, not for photography. I'm not really a stills guy, I do mostly film journals. I film random bits throughout the year and make a recap video that I can send to family / watch when I reach your age. ;)   It's a great way to save the memories.

Some of the better shots at the end were taken with my new camera... but most of them were with cell phone before I bought the DSLR.

 

Only after getting the camera (it's my first DSLR) have I really started being interested in stills. I figure I have the hardware, why not learn some photography? This camera really isn't meant for it though; this makes it difficult.

- 16-50mm lens

- no optical view finder

- manual focus is by wire (not physical linkage)

- However, the video quality is unparalleled in it's price range.

One of those mini tripods should be perfect for your camera. At lease you'll be able to take some longer exposures without movement.

 

Cool video by the way. You have a flair for video editing.

Bullies are great dogs Merlin. We had 2 and they both died young as well. Unfortunately the average life span for bullies is about 7 years. Too short for such a wonderful dog.

 

My wife used to torture ours by dressing them up for photo ops.

I too had been bit by the photo Bug and picked up a Nikon D610 with a kit lens, a Vortex tripod and a Nikon 910 Speed light. When time allows ....Cash wise...I would like to by a Nikon 105 macro lens and a Tamron 150 to 600 telephoto....just saying.
