Yeah Steve, lots of water really. Sun dead-on high and 8-sec exposure, mid-close with low tripod on manual focus. it's really hard without an articulating screen I had to squat and relied only on histogram- LCD useless due to glare plus wearing progressive glasses is a pain in the neck. thanks!
I can imagine that the non-articulating screen is difficult to work with.
Have you thought about tethering your camera? I personally use Camera Connect and Control with my Samsung tablet. I can shoot in either wired mode connected with a USB cable or wirelessly with wi-fi while sitting in a camp chair.
That is a very good option. Externals certainly help in those kind of situations. But there’s only myself to blame for not hauling an extra body. Lesson learned.
