Do most of you guys have your grid lines turned on, or use a grid focusing screen of some kind?
I do.
On the older Canons what did you do to get your shots lined up properly?
Just winged it as best I coude. My Nikon film cameras let me replace the focusing screen with one with grid lines, but that disappeared with all but the most expensive cameras, once autofocus took over.
I don't mean imagining the rule of thirds, either. I mean getting a level photo, or did you just fix it in post as best you could?
<chuckle!> That was quite a problem, because the early versions of DPP didn't have rotational correction.
I ask because I myself always have the grid turned on, but sometimes if I am trying to shoot something on the move, the grid doesn't really help me that much. Yet some guys seem to have a talent for getting very level shots.
It's just practice and lots of paying attention. I err in one direction; my wife errs in the other. I wish we could just average it, but I guess that's not in the cards.
