Any thoughts on how to compensate for a tremor during photography trips?

Haha. Abstract photography is basically how I got started. I was taking pictures on a crappy camera out a schoolbus window, during the sunrise, mostly. I discovered very quickly some weird things happened if the camera only got halfway through capturing the photo before the bus started moving.

As is, I'm not rejecting the genre entirely; I intend to dig deeper into it. I just don't want to be forced into it, especially not at random.

(Trying to do it on purpose now means I tell the camera to let me control the shutter, and take a few test shots to see what is the longest shutter I can get away with before everything gets too bright, then do a lot of intentional camera movement. The goal is to either focus on subjects with lots of bright colors I can push on in Lightroom, OR continue what I was doing as a kid, just more deliberately--getting a subject partially set, partially in focus, and screwing with the rest of the image around it.) If I just try to take photos normally and fail from the tremor, it's not weird enough, because this is pretty much the only area in which my tremor causes problems.

Here's an example of one of the ones I did this week--not my favorite, not even finished I think, but it gets the idea across of what I mean.
