I really like a camera with a rotating LCD. I like to be able to get down low for shots like this without kneeling in the wet sand, or snow, or straining my aging knees in any situation. And for me, the “on the ground” point of view often adds enough impact to the shot to make it worth the effort. Here the sky reflections in the wet sand and pooled water add to the effect.

This Parson’s Beach, about 2 miles from my front door, on the ocean side of the dunes from the past two days’ shots. Great Hill on the other side of the Mousam, and Lords Point in Kennebunk sticking out beyond. If you view it large enough you will see Cape Arundel on the horizon.

Canon SX20IS at 28mm equivalent field of view. f4 @ 1/1250th @ ISO 80. Landscape Mode.

Processed for intensity and clarity in Lightroom. I also used the Distortion tool to flatten the horizon and correct for some vertical perspective distortion from the low angle.
