fren, you were at gurney drive. you can just place your camera at the small wall at the side walk, then tilt it up a bit with your wallet.

then timer it to shoot. then your photos won't be blur for those night shots.

now i miss my pulau tikus CKT.

csrulez, np.

anyway to protect your S5IS - you could use a bean bag / small pillow too.

you know la, gurney drive those sturdy areas for you to place the cam are rocks and if it drops - sad case lor. get a bean bag, it should give more friction and yet being stable.

Just note the slope, being a bean bag it might slip as well should the center of gravity go way off.

Does your S5 have a strap? what I usually do is to hold the strap or have it around my neck even when the camera is left on it's own to do timered shot.

if there's horizon, try to make it level. slightly slanting horizon is noticeable.
