Coming down off the mountain the other day, I was in the mood for macro. I noticed these bug shells clinging to the odd pine tree. This was a one second exposure with no tripod. :) I just braced it against the tree trunk really steadily.

Cicada? Of course! I should have known. Those buzzing bugs rule the month of August in these parts.

As to holding still, I put the camera against the tree with my left hand supporting it from below, fingers on the tree. To hold the hand steady I leaned my side against my left elbow. To keep my body steady, I leaned my head against the tree with feet wider than shoulder width apart. Simple, really. :)

That description sounds like it would make an interesting picture as well.:D
