Walking into a dimly lit room can be a photographers worse nightmare. Dark walls, low lighting, and weird shadows are enough to give even the calmest photographer a case of anxiety. Does this sound familiar? It did to me when I was first starting out and claimed to be a natural light photographer.

It might seem like one of the simplest parts of photography: leveling your horizon. Most photographers want their horizons to be straight, of course, but this isnt an area of photography that gets too much attention. And why would it? Leveling the horizon is a very easy task right?
