i don't have a tripod, so rested the base of the lens on the lens cover and the strap (folded over on itself several times), which even with this long exposure was steady enough to do the job! a booklet can solve a lot of problems, and word 2013 makes it very easy to create one. but be warned, the result might well be a lot tighter than you think. there are various entry-level type credit cards you can consider which don’t require a lot of personal information to get approved.
