The problem is, you’ll need a perfectly still hand to properly capture these kind of scenes. And unfortunately, since no one can keep perfectly still (our heartbeats cause the tiniest kind of motion in our hands), it would do well to use a tripod.

Any photographer serious about capturing great photos—and even point and shoot owners are serious about this—should consider a tripod a crucial accessory. There are cheap ones out there anyway, and any point and shoot camera or dSLR worth their weight is designed to work with tripods. I was lucky enough to have a solid base to rest my camera on to keep the frame still; what if this wasn’t available?

Amazon has at least one tripod costing less than $25. I don’t think you can go lower than that.
