Does your camera have a timer?
Most digital cameras today have them as standard equipment, you may have to ask a small child how to work it....

It probably does, but it is a professional level Nikon and I sometimes worry about letting people use it who I am not too familiar with.

That's how I took this. Camera mounted on my hiking stick, leaning on a tree, self-timer on. All my old manual Nikons have a self-timer; I'm willing to bet all the newer digital whizbang Nikons have better ones.

They have. For the D40-D5000 series you can use a cheap infra-red remote control, costing no more than about $25, I guess - in Denmark a little bit more - and for the more expensive D300-D3x you'll have to use an 8-10 times more expensive remote control. Thinks are connected, you see. The expensive one works just as well as the cheap one, but you have to mount a device on top of the camera as well and thereby the expensive one is more complicated to use.
