I am ordering a wide angle lense soon along with a tripod.
I have a tripod but I don't always carry it around with me so I prop my camera on anything I can. I propped it up on a piece of bark on the ground, on my car's roof, on railings, desks, etc. A lot of the time I used the camera's strap under the front to angle the camera upward.
