Thanks Jack! Point taken about both photos. The rock picture was in part a demonstration how easy it was for me to take waist level or even knee level pictures with a wide angle lens and K-5 using electronic level. Saving the old back & knees.
Better than half the time when I read something like this, and it gives me and idea for a handy, inexpensive gadget, I can find several of them for sale on the web. To my surprise, I can't easily find any waist level viewfinders that mount in a hot shoe. With slide in frames, or even lines on the mirror marking various angles of view, it's something you could make out of a piece of molded plastic and a mirror and sell for $10 or less.
They would have been a bit problematic on manual focus SLRs, but you could have gotten by just guessing the distance and setting focus by the scale. On auto focus (d)SLRs they could be rather handy for discreet event or street photography, and for something like the K-01 they could be really handy.
