Some cameras have a flip-out screen, so you can still look at your screen when shooting from the hip. When people see you looking down at your camera like that, they all think you’re adjusting your settings. Properly candid!

Vlissingen - f/4.5, 1/800s, 320 ISO @ 35mm One major advantage of these flip-out screens is that you can also make much easier use of different viewpoints. You can shoot very low from a frog’s-eye view, but also very high, by tilting the screen the other way, from a bird’s-eye view. It would be a shame not to make use of this: it almost always produces more interesting photos!
