A level horizon is the quickest way to make a landscape feel grounded and serene — and a crooked one is the fastest way to make it feel unsettled.
Level your camera so the horizon runs flat across the frame. It's a tiny adjustment with a huge effect on how composed the image feels.
Where you place the horizon matters too. Lower it to emphasize the sky, or raise it to emphasize the ground. A mid-frame horizon often feels the most balanced.
slay's guides give you a straight reference line. Align your horizon to it and your landscape stays calm.
Frame it perfectly, every time.
slay overlays the exact composition guides from these principles right onto your camera.
