Wonky Horizons

[quote:3496ace15f="fatspider"] I also have to rotate a lot of my shots anti-clockwise. I thought it must be my eyesight. How would the SR affect the horizon?

A very large percentage of photographers tilt their horizons.

To understand why rotating anti-clockwise to correct it is quite common, just think which way we push the camera by pressing the shutter release...

Its a theory Barrie, if SR is switched on then it will try to compensate for camera shake, at the "moment" when the image is recorded by the sensor it may well have been skewed one way or another attempting to compensate for those who constantly visit a certain pointless thread and are under the influence

When I do landscapes, I always take my left shoe off!

Perhaps the horizons are straight and the World is wonky!

That is something to bare in mind!......mmmmmmmmmmm!

Perhaps i should turn off the shake reduction just before I take the shot

Any way the world is round so the horizon will always tilt to the right oh yes and the left

I thought SR worked in X and Y (vertically and horizontally). I didn't realise it rotated.

Another reason could be how the sensor is sitting .
Even with SR turned off the sensor could have a slight 'tilt' as a result of the movement of the 'bed.

Twisted horizons are one of the reasons I try to avoid open scenery shots.

How hard is it to straighten a wonky horizon though? Not very, and it's not like in the days of film when the sea would be forever flowing out of the frame.

I get slightly wonky horizons from time to time, but nowhere near as bad as my other half manages - some of his are at 30degrees off the horizontal.
Hopeless. Nearly bad enough to be art, but not quite.

I did that but kept falling over.:

My first K100 D nearly always gave untrue hrozontals I informed Pentax of the problem and was told to return the camera. It turned out to be a manufacturing problem and they replaced the camera with a new one.
