My issue is what to do about "apparent" but not "true" horizon lines.
For example, I shoot around the river a lot. If it's running through the background of my shot, but actually not perpendicular to my line of sight, it will look tilted, and people will comment that my shot is tilted. Sometimes I straighten it just so as not to get such comments!
When shooting hand held, I try to use the line of focus points in my XT to align parallel a horizon line; when on a tripod, I use the Hakuba two way leveler for my hotshoe (which I got pretty cheap from Amazon: about $17; now it seems to be $36 everywhere)
One thing I've found when shooting on a tripod; often I will be so low that I can't look "straight" through the viewfinder (my head is tilted relative to the camera), and that's when I tended to tilt the shot before getting the leveler.
It's too bad they don't build a leveler into the viewfinder of SLRs! |

| I picked up a two axis level that fits in my hotshoe for 6 pounds on eBay. If I want to straighten an 'apparent' horizon I use the grid lines in the viewfinder. |

Elements will even let you rotate less than 1 degree.

| Thanks for all the comments. Yeah I knew you can fix it in Softwares for photo. MY camera is not level. I tilt the camera to the left a big amount and the picture almost level maybe still off no more than 1 degree. |
