If there was ever a single image that made a solid case for using cameras with fully-articulating screens, this one would be a good contender. I was out on the beach looking for a decent foreground to go with the sunset, and not having much luck. I noticed the waves were filtering into this tide pool and then draining out with lots of seafoam on top. I hustled over and frantically set up my gear. The camera had to be placed just above the water line, with the tripod mostly submerged in water. If the LCD was fixed, I would have had a harder time getting the composition right without getting wet up to my chest, and either losing too much time and/or drenching my phone, wallet, and camera bag in salt water. Luckily, the camera had a fully-articulating screen and I was able to compose the shot standing over the camera looking down. After quickly getting the exposure, focus, and ND filters all set, I fired off one shot before the final wave exited the pool. Since the tide was on the way out, no other opportunity presented itself for the nice water flow.
