New horizons
Depends on the usage. Is it to document or be dramatic?

Any opinions? With a bit of perspective correction you should be able to have both the horizon level and the tomb vertical. Yeah, but that might take 5 minutes. |

I would shoot so the horizon is as level as possible, then use the following or Photoshop to correct the tomb while keeping the horizon level. If I could. http://wiki.panotools.org/Fulla -- xenarshooter |

Any opinions? yep - IMO horizon should be level. If a horizon isn't level in a shot "for effect" then IMO it should never look like an accident or result of poor technique. (heh - unless you want it to represent in an artistic manner a reflection on crappy photographic skills, which could be a valid artistic statement I guess.) The tomb doesn't have to be vertical for the shot to work. But if you want, then perspective correction could give you this: http://i3.tinypic.com/5y7dyts.jpg |
