Using The Flip Screen

[MontanaDave50 1]

Sometimes the camera perspective can be used to improve a photo.
Both photos were taken with the same camera/lens using eye-detection autofocus.
The first photo was taken using the viewfinder from a vehicle.
The second photo was taken at water level using the flip screen.
The photo at water level improves the distance to background, so the background is more blurred

Nice shots. Providing the apertures and shutter speeds of both pictures would be helpful.

Both very nice shots ....

Very nice shots. I prefer the shot from water level myself.

Nice shots.
It's certainly a useful feature for framing shots where the viewfinder can't be used. I've recently used mine for shooting up at bluebells from ground level, and have also used it at arms reach both up & to the side.

Definitely the water level version.

Nice comparison of perspectives! I bet you’re glad you got out of the car.

I use my screen mostly just for tripod shooting as I prefer the camera stability that I get from using the viewfinder but…sometimes I just can’t get the angle I want and using the screen is helpful for that. It can be a great knee and back saver too.

Good for kids, pets, and swimming birds.

Thanks. There really is a big apparent DOF difference in the two methods.

What is the distance to the subject in the two versions (curious)?

Great example of the use of different perspectives!....my camera has the flip screen, I should try and use it more!....thanks for the reminder!

Must be some experience shooting MF cameras with WLFs but I find the flip screen on my Fuji X-T1s great for street candids.
