Maybe I missed this tip in art school, but… From Pogue’s Photography Tips and Tricks, The New York Times Applies to point and shoot cameras… SLRs, not so much. That said, it did work for my Olympus XA and Pen D) “Use a Lampshade Socket as a Tripod Another chronic problem with pocket cams is getting blur when you don’t want it – which is just about any time you’re indoors without the flash. Yeah, yeah, we know: ‘Use a tripod.’ But come on: for the average person on vacation or at school events, buying, hauling around, and setting up a tripod is a preposterous burden. Often, there’s a wall, parked car, bureau, tree, pillar, door frame, or some other big, stationary object you can use instead, to prop up either the camera or your arms. But here’s my favorite trick: It turns out that the threads at the top of just about any lamp – the place where the lampshade screws on – are precisely the same diameter as a tripod mount! In a pinch, you can whip off the lampshade, screw on the camera, and presto: You’ve got a rock-steady indoor tripod. People might think you’re a genius, a nutcase, or a genius nutcase, but never mind. It works.”
