Wow! I need to take one of my little mirrors on an angles stick when I
go out shooting in the woods. I don't know why that didn't occur to me
when I was having similar troubles on my own, but does now reading about
yours. Or maybe a simple pocket mirror, I need to go out tomorrow and
experiment.
I almost always have the F30 on my belt when out with the 5D, and use it
for those impossible for a DSLR angles.
