Fun with tripods

I bought a tripod for my camera last night. Some of my flower pictures have been coming out blurry, and I thought a tripod would help. That tripod is a blast! You can adjust the legs nine million ways, adjust the camera angle, turn the camera vertical, etc. While I was monkeying around, I figured out how to use the timer on the camera, so of course the first thing I did was take a self-portrait. My camera is 35 mm, not digital, which means I have to use up a whole roll of film and get it developed before I see what I shot. I've got to get a digital camera - maybe as a combined birthday/Christmas gift to myself?
