So I tried shooting with my tripod in different positions from sitting, standing, and kneeling.... kneeling is my strongest so far.
one leg laying on the ground and the other (knee pointing upward) used as a stable foundation... plus using a bag rest. It was very stable... it's crazy! I just need to figure out how to control everything to be able to watch and follow up with my shots.
Sorry no pics

I promise I'll take some the next time I go out.
