Not sure if my eyes are playing tricks. Horizon seems abit titled.

Thanks for pointing out: no, it is level. The bank on the right seems tilted because of horizontal perspective (it happens because for Singapore, most of the "horizon" actually comprises of land masses rather near, so when they come closer towards where you are, or away, there will be an apparent "tilt": if you don't understand this, place yourself parallel to a door and open it, you'll get what I mean). I usually liquify to correct this but must have left it out here, heh.

I'm glad i mentioned that - I learnt something new. Thanks for explaining. It really sounds quite intuitive but never given thoughts to that. I'm just curious, you checked it while composing with a leveller or were you consciously awareness of the terrain as such knowing that this apparent tilt is an optical illusion?

I only use use spirit level on the levelling base when stitching panos - unfortunately through the years I haven't found a good leveller (even the more expensive ones don't seem to be spot on, despite what many will have you believe, probably because there is a wide margin of error [the Sirui ballhead levels are quite ok, but getting them right is a pain in the arse because of the high sensitivity, if you know what I mean]), so I use the live view and "zoom in" to check the parts which aren't affected by this by eye. With the grid overlay option present in most cameras, this is usually quite easy. In any case, when it comes to cityscapes, the verticals will tell the story - seascapes are a bit more "forgiving" in this aspect (also much easier to liquify).

I tried using the sirui levellers and quite a pain to level. Especially when the ground is not flat, but people have told me or I have seen people saying it is indispensable but I've not used one (since I lost two levellers and gave up buying a third). There are times when aligning verticals of one building arises in the verticals of another being not aligned well. The grids in my viewfinder helped a little in this aspect.
