Since I've got a ff and my 17-40L I'm more and more leaning to the wide end because the results look interesting to my eye.
Problem: I often have difficulties finding a horizon or post-processing rotate angle that looks ok-ish. This turns out to be most difficult if it's an odd-angle shot and there are no orientation lines or the lines aren't right angle themselves (like skew trees in the background or a sloped/non-even horizon on a hill).
What I'm doing is right now is subjective trial and error ("nah, another 0.1 degrees clockwise") but whenever I look at it again it still seems to be somehow odd. Most annoying is that a "gravity down" approach with the camera's sensor also doesn't always look correct. To me
Question: Do you know or have developed any guidelines on how to find the "best" post-processing angle? Do you often do tse-like perspective correction on these shots? Or do you simply accept the fact that these shots never look right unless you're there and your body know where the gravity is?
