Make yourself a pair of these: - Clamps For Positioning Macro Subjects

They're worth their weight in gold.

And - thinking about it, they are definitely my best sub £20 photography accessory of all time.

... which cost me £9.99. It screws into the tripod mount of camera or lens and is ideal for resting on car or hide window frames, walls, fence posts, the ground - anything really. I've even taken to carrying my tripod around and just plonking the camera with pod attached on top of the mounting plate. This gives lots of stability but also a fair degree of movement for framing the subject and if you suddenly want to track a bird in flight it's instant.

The pod is certainly very useful

Great idea, Mike! Very innovative .. my problem is usually when I'm out and about though, visiting gardens ... and they might be a bit peeved if I start 'fiddling' with their plants

A big roll of black bin liners - I spend a lot of time lying on the ground taking shots of flowers, fungi etc and it's always wet and muddy.

I get those for nothing when I visit my mother - she hoards them for some reason. I just lighten the load but they are great for fungi shots on wet ground.
