Horizon Unlevel

Unread post by rsinoms »

In my opinion the horizon is level but it was rejected for that. Also the train is coming off a banked curve on a grade.

It is leaning to the right, it clearly shows in the building.

Obviously leaning a bit to the right, probably -.2 CCW or so to the left and you'll have a winner Russ. :)

Wide angle distortion going on here. While the Hancock is leaning to the right, the building on the right is leaning to the left a little bit. Use perspective control and drag the upper corners outward slightly.

Dont see that at all. It all is leaning to the right. The master of level has just become unlevel. :lol:

I think it's a distortion issue as well. It doesn't need too much adjustment to be right though.

Sorry after the great gods of photography showed me the light, I still say it all leaning to the right. Sorry I forgot I was talking to the only authority on photos.

I agree with the barrel distortion as well. The brick building with the windows on the left edge of the frame is leaning to the right.
