LOL... these are funny. I thought you were going to give me some real tips, since I don't own a tripod (well, not one that holds up my camera anyway)

LOL.. i was recently bridesmaid for my girlfriend, i took the photos at the house in the morning for her. I took her outside and the sun was shining, so i got down on my hands and knees ( bridesmaid dress on and all) used my elbows as a tripod, bum up in the air, and got the sun just where i wanted it behind her, next thing i look around to see one of hte other bridesmaids taking photos of me taking photos of the bride, when i get them i will post it here, apparently it loooked funny....
