Yes, as Dan says the first rule of landscapes is to get the horizon straight
Well said. I wanted the path to be straight.Surely you have to judge picture by picture as sometimes straightening the horizon will cause something else to be wonky and in this case there's a chance of knocking the walkway and fence posts out. Sometimes you just have to ignore a "rule" and instead strike a balance and go with what looks best and not obsess over some element in the picture being 1 degree out.
Just MHO
Rules sometimes can be ignored, but not with horizons in landscapes, especially when there's a large body of water in the scene (unless you've done it deliberately such as 45 degrees to look 'arty' ) In any case, in Jonney's pic nothing's straight, the fence posts and bench are leaning to the right tooSurely you have to judge picture by picture as sometimes straightening the horizon will cause something else to be wonky and in this case there's a chance of knocking the walkway and fence posts out.

Nice pic, but have you changed your upload settings on the last two pics as the IQ looks really bad?
Yea i downloaded a tiny version of the picNice pic, but have you changed your upload settings on the last two pics as the IQ looks really bad?
LolShould have used a ND grad I think
or a Sony sensor
I'm on a tablet and the picture is quite dark but from what I can see the pathway would be sloping more with the horizon corrected, fence posts don't look too bad and would imo suffer should the horizon be straight. It's all opinion and maybe straightening the horizon is the majority opinion but photography is a personal thing and knocking the fence posts and path out to get the horizon straight is just a different trade off. The shot could be taken from a different location and / or a different angle but it'd then be a different pucture.Rules sometimes can be ignored, but not with horizons in landscapes, especially when there's a large body of water in the scene (unless you've done it deliberately such as 45 degrees to look 'arty' ) In any case, in Jonney's pic nothing's straight, the fence posts and bench are leaning to the right too
None of those pics where taken using a tripodI don’t want to worry you Jonney, but I reckon the bubble level on your tripod has got a leak [emoji6]

would help if you mentioned which body...?Has anyone experience of the Canon 17-40 with MC11? Does it work OK and is fast to focus, eye detect etc?

I have hundreds if not thousands of pictures with the horizon knowingly a bit off and guess what, no one has ever commented on that, including here Imo it's about making a picture to look at not complying with rules. ymmv.
It isWell, I’ve just pulled the trigger on an FE16-35 f/2.8 GM I just hope it’s as good as it’s meant to be.
Just got a voucher in the post from Wex, £20 off a £150 order with CAL20
Might as well preorder some batteries! Makes them £65 each

Check when Bristol are getting them in - they’re £55 odd there

I just got a battery and charger delivered today and got the very same voucher in the post!!!
I don’t need anymore, I have 3 now.
You could use it for another FE lens or pass on the voucher code?
Ahhh I think these codes are linked to user accounts, tried Dan's and it didn't work.Same code as Dan posted.

That’s like £200 in chargers and batteries I’ve spent, people have cameras costing less...
i'm going to do something called 'shakefest' where school kids put on back to back performances of Shakespeare plays over the course of about 8+ hours
should be ok with four as long as I can charge two, just in case.
Don’t only FE lens I want is £1300 and I’m wiped out this month, putting it on the credit card is not wise when the interest for that amount will be more than £20.
But what other lenses haven't you got?i've just been paid, it's burning a hole in my bank..
