The palys are out of your DOF, try using manual focus to center your focus better. And use a timer or remote to trigger the shutter.

I agree. You could hit the shutter manually though, I don't think a remote is an absolute must.

It is if you're shooting 1/4 second like he did. Unless your tripod is rock solid pushing the shutter is enough to cause motion blur at that speed. You can use the timer function if you don't have a remote, set it to like 5 sec and you'll be good.
