One more tip for you, becareful where u set your camera, as someone might just suddenly jump out and grab your camera and run since it is far from you.

So i suggest you get one of those al cheapo digitr38 or something like that tripod(the ones that everyone has when buying new camera), wide angle lens, a dslr with tilting/flipping screen. Put near near you and compose from there. can keep camera within 1m distance and can adjust adjust instantly and can do many artistic shots. but since it is wide angle there will be distortion at the side if it is too near. So pandai pandai lah tangkap angle
