I think you can always tell a ‘Gail at Large’-shot horizon because it’s guaranteed to be crooked. Can you tell this is Ottawa? Here’s a larger version. Zhu says she’s never seen the water this low.
Be glad you’re seeing this on a screen and not anywhere near me. No, I don’t have H1N1 or another flu or anything remotely debilitating, but my nose can’t decide whether it’s running or taking some downtime (or on strike!) and my eyes are streaming like I just chopped some onions. I was editing all night until 6:30 this morning, which probably didn’t help. I’m too old to be lectured about it, though, it’s called freelancing.
Why, hello December. I hope you pass quickly.
I think I’m going to need a lot of music to help get me through this month, it’s the hardest month of the year for me. I’m going to post a music video every day. Here’s the kick-off, Manu Chao’s “Me Gustas Tu” –

Thanks, Nigel
is there any particular reason why you don’t just straighten the crooked horizons in processing?
If it’s too distracting I will, and if it’s for a client, definitely. Basically, I leave things alone unless they bug me too much. My goal is to get it right in-camera, not get in the habit of leaving everything to the processing.
Crooked horizons are something I always have to remind myself about when I’m shooting.
I always straighten my pictures
The Ottawa shot turned out beautifully. My own picture is darker and more blueish, funny.
Can never go wrong with Manu Chao… his music always cheers me up!

Ottawa almost looks liveable
When I move there in the spring, more visits will be in order!
Take care Gail. You’re always in my thoughts at this time of year.
