If you've ever fired a rifle, these will come naturally to you. If you don't want to use a tripod, a GorillaPod + remote control is often an excellent substitute.

I'm yet to try that technique as I find it rather disgusting to actually lie down on the streets (I'm into street photography, you don't wanna know what's on the ground). However after getting that idea from you, I thought of a solution, I could bring a canvas sheet along (just nice for this!!)...yeah! I like number 4, the sexy ass technique haha!!

A solution within yourself, great ! really useful when taking pictures at raves and dj events using a point and shoot, where you rarely have a place to lean on I must say I really got a smile in my face after trying these techniques, specially elbows in and machine gun.

First get your string. Make sure it's long enough to travel from your head to your toes. Make a loop at one end and slide it around the lens if you can, (or if you have a tripod bush handy, attached it to the camera and then wrap the string/cord around that instead), then place the the other end under your foot and pull it taut so that the lens is 'fighting' against the pull. This makes it very easy to keep the camera steady. If you can get the measurements right, (and you have enough length of string, you could also make a large circle out of the string. Place it beneath BOTH feet, and then loop it over your camera lens, forming a triangle shape. Again, pull the string up as far as you can...hold your breath (then let half of it go...hold....and fire away)! Simple to use....and very little cost.
