Thanks. I need to buy a tripod.
Try using the left and right focus points as a guide , level them with the horizon, if not perfect then that will get you much closer.

A Tripod with bubble levels helps, at least if the place you are is level with horizon, otherwise tilt the camer so the horizon is level straight across the image.

Hi,
Love the photos, some good points already made.
A tripod is essential additionally, an excellent way to learn about 'depth of field' or depth of focus is to.......
Set your camera upon a tripod, then without changing the point of focus, try changing the aperture, and just take several shots again. You will notice that the largest aperture ( lowest numbers ,f2.8, f4, f5.6 give a very shallow depth of focus, whereas the higher numbers give the greatest depth. f8, f11,f16,f22. Subjects like portraits generally require a very shallow dof, whereas landscapes require much greater depth, so that the foreground is sharp and more distant objects are also sharp.
You do have an excellent 'eye' for a photo. I think the best suggestion I or anyone else could make is to 'take your time'. With landscapes check composure, get everything level, after all, the landscapes isn't going anywhere DO NOT HURRY!!!!! Best of luck, Best wishes, Norman
