I've been trying to get some shots lately but it's been tough with the shitty weather and being stuck back on the east coast due to an injury. This thread is intended for shots that pretty much anyone can get fairly easily.

To start things off,

- Star timelapses (did my first one's tonight and love em)
- Dancing candle wick (saw this idea on here a couple nights ago and gave it a go, came out pretty cool)

Any tripod shot can be done by anyone, given you have a tripod. I could be more specific, but literally anything involving a tripod isn't very physically demanding.

i feel like the shots you can get with a tripod are endless, with things in the foreground and just different angles in general

Highway long exposure shots, Ive done a bunch of em

Get a tripod
And a model too if youd like
Go to a busyish road
leave your iso around 400-800 (you can play with it as you play with your shutter speed)
put your shutter speed anywhere from 3 seconds and up (slower speed=more car lights able to pickup)
play with your fstop as you play with your shutter speed and iso etc.

Profit

A basic tripod + camera setup coupled with militant application of tasteful composition will put you ahead of 90% of what's already out there.
