One of the tricks to taking good photographs is supporting your camera well. Professionals use tripods, but they can be clumsy. Here are two simple ideas that slip in your pocket.
1. Make up a string as long as the distance from your eye to your foot. Put a loop in one end large enough to slip your foot into, and at the other end attach a screw that can fit into the bottom of your camera. Pull the string taut and you have a simple "monopod"-like brace which helps to reduce camera shake.
2. Make (or buy) a camera bean bag. This allows you to rest the camera on just about any surface, sloping or uneven. Here are some simple instructions, and here is a pic of a commercial version in action.
