Step 2Tripod or tripod-like thing
The camera needs to be still while it's taking the photo. I used to just set the camera on some stuff, like milk crates and books, but have now moved on to a $30 tripod (a Sunpak 8001UT Tripod). It's really nice not to have to search for a book of just the right thickness, and to be able to easily adjust the angle of the camera.
The mini tripods are ok and I keep one in my camera case for when I don't have my tripod.
If you're just setting the camera on something, use the delayed shutter function. With it, you can press the button, take your hand off the camera, and know it'll stop wiggling before the picture is taken.

Using a tripod (or some other solid surface) is absolutely critical (in my opinion) for taking good pumpkin pictures. If you do nothing else suggested in this instructable, at least do this.
