Helpful Posts: Shooting mostly candid street photography as I do, my tripod spends much of it's lonely existence in the trunk of my car. A few years ago as part of a self-assignment on "Useful photographic tricks I've learned over the years" I enlisted the help of a photobud who is a wonderful photographer and a good sport to help me with this shot.

Re: Finally found a use for a tripod
Having visited many BYOTP (Bring Your Own Toilet Paper) places / countries I did have a bit of a chuckle when I saw this.
On one long ago trip to some rather out of the way places in Egypt we were dispatched with a trowel to bury the solid waste and matches to burn the used toilet paper.

Re: Finally found a use for a tripod
It would seem that the OP has misinterpreted the term astrophotography.

Re: Finally found a use for a tripod
Excellent example of repurposing redundant equipment.
In keeping with the "Pack it in; Pack it out" philosophy in hiking; have you extended this to those hard lens cases we all seem to have lurking in a cupboard?
