How to create make shift tripods when you don't have one

Ok, shutterbug, you need to keep your camera from shaking, but there’s no tripod in sight. Relax--you can still get the perfect shot. Here a couple easy tricks to help you get a steady shot without a tripod.

You will need:
-a piece of string as tall as you
-a beanbag
-a quarter inch bolt
-a washer

Tip: If you can't tie the string directly to your camera, tie it to a quarter-inch bolt and screw the bolt into the camera's tripod attachment.
