@mittens - I got this thanks to my 70D. It has an articulating view screen that allowed me to hold the camera low and point the camera up while looking through the screen and could see what I was shooting. No lying on the ground required.
@mittens - Didn't know what kind of camera you have since it doesn't show up in the photo details. I do know that the Canon T3i was the first to have the articulating screen, but they have added it to other models. I saw that they are coming out with a 6D (full frame) in May that has an articulating screen. I love mine as it is great for focus photo stacking.
