Just posted a set of pictures, in 'General photo sharing'. Grendel as been very kind, but sugestest the Bird and Dog, type pictures are better taken at their level. One. accept this, however, 'groveling about' on the floor is messey . . . :D so has any one tried the 90 degree clip on eye piece, (in my case Nikon D80/D40X) you can buy, do they work? so that this type of shot is easier on the laundry and ones happy partnership status :love: At £80'ish it a lot to fork out and find they dont work?

Having said that, the foam kneelers you get from garden centres are also quite useful.

I use an angle finder occasionally.....you only have to lie in the wrong stuff once. It takes practice to follow a moving target and move the camera the right way quickly but you'll get the hang of it.

Now, now chaps, think of my back :shrug: Or I will have to go back to my Compact A640 with a swiveling screen . . . !!! :eek::D The A640 is 'bust' at present, I wanted to leave it that way, use the DSLR's, 'out of the rutt' remember . . . plus they want £100 to repair it, robbing bast ***ds. Not to impressed with Cannon kit, S50 bust twice in 3 years, 640 went 'belly up' recently! Shant be buying and more Cannon.

There is an Ebay version of the right angle viewfinder available which works just as well, for about £30.

Personally, I'm used to grovelling :lol:

Thanks for that tip 'FITP' £30.99 inc P&P, + £1 for cancer reserch, lost my Mrs's in 95 to 'C' :love: Checked out a few other sellers, to the one I chose, they are all selling the item for wildly diferent prices, even Nikons own offering looks like it might be a rebadge???

Looking forward to the 90 degree eye piece, I feel it will add a new dimention to my DSLR photography, if my experience with the swivel screen A640 was anything to go by. Bring on the 'new box brownie', no more groveling :banana: :lol:
