Thanks for another good one Steve!

Your article gives support to the position that articulated (tilt) screens do come in handy sometimes! Unfortunately UHH responses to questions re cameras like the Nikon D5600 often include negative comments re the tilt screen: "useless", "a part waiting to break off", etc. Pity that they pass on misleading information and don't recognize the positives...

Sorry if I went off topic a bit. Great article!

It does make a difference to get down to the level of the subject. I've always known this when taking photos of children but I see what an impact it makes on all kinds of subjects now.

Thanks - and super images.
I feel getting down to eye level is just for animals ...........................

I already watched it, Steve. Great article. It's hard, though, for old guys like me to get really low in many instances. My D7200 doesn't have a tilt screen as you know.

I hear ya - I see tilt screen criticized all the time. I personally use them quite a bit - and hope the D6 when it comes out has one.

Thanks, Steve, for this great article and lovely pictures!
I was interested in the right angle viewer that you mentioned, and looked it up -- about $200 for a Nikon one at B&H.
I have a d750, which has an tilting screen for low shots. But I was wondering if the viewfinder works better, giving a better view and better results than the screen does.
Do you, or our other members, have an opinion about that?

The viewfinder is better - if you can see it :) The tilt screen can work (and I use it), but the PDAF system via the viewfinder is faster and will lock on easier. Still, if you have to be really low and the subject isn't moving around too much, the tilt screen works well.
