haha did you really need the tripod for this

Yep. The exposure time for that was about a second. Unless you're dead there is no way real way to hold the camera perfectly still for that long. I also used a two second delayer so it would take the pic two seconds after me pressing the button (to prevent me from causing shaking in the tripod). The exposure time had to be so long because there wasn't really that much light, and using the flash would have ruined the picture.
Here's one of a little "doll" that I brought from Cuba. This was taken using macro mode, as the "doll" is about two inches tall.
