TRIPOD
A tripod improves your photographs in two ways:
- It keeps the camera absolutely stable during the exposure.This gets rid of the chance of any camera shake that might upset the exposure or the focusing distance that you have set on the camera. At the same time using a tripod allows you to use slower shutter speeds (longer exposure times) without the risk of blurring.

This is the Benro Slim Travel Carbon Fibre Tripod (FSL09CN00).
It is light-weight, contracts into an easily carried item.
Especially suitable if you are doing a lot of travelling.
Sturdy enough for practical use.
Have a look in the UK at WEX
and in the USA at Amazon.com
Two photographs where using a tripod was essential
in order to prevent camera shake and to maintain a
precise composition:
ANCHOR LINKS FOR YOUR CAMERA STRAPS
Anchor Links are quick-connectors that can be placed on the ends of any standard camera neck strap, giving it super-fast, ultra secure quick-connection capability
I have these on all of my cameras so that I can transfer one strap quickly from camera to camera.
When you do not want a camera strap – when you are using a tripod, for example, – it takes seconds to remove the strap and to replace it again afterwards.
