Latest visit to the Bridgewater Canal
Neither of these last two look right to me, it's as if the boat is going up or down hill! Given that I was on the opposite side of the canal and at an angle to the boat how should I straighten the image?
Any advice would be welcome.

Taken on a boat trip in Sardinia in 2018 and emerging now because I am trying to tidy up and cull some of my (rather too large) collection of images!

Ships in storage near Falmouth. This is a scan of a typical Boots processed print. I 'think' this was taken on a first generation Canon EOS 650 but it was a long time ago!

Think I went a bit hard on the grain effect here on my JPEG; but all the same:

Hi Howard, sometimes small optical triggers can produce 'illusions' of tilt in your perception of a photo and this may be so in these. The red boat is easiest, look at the angle of the house in the background and adjust in your crop/rotation tool until it is more vertical, The blue one is not far off and you can do an eyeball rotation using the light coloured tree trunk in the centre to improve the very slight slope.

"Calshot Spit", Southampton - 21 Sep 2019 by Cliff Jones, on Flickr
The ship, which was known as Light Vessel 78 (LV78), was built in 1914 and is a rare surviving example of a riveted iron-plated ship. It was originally moored at Calshot Spit, where it acted as a floating lighthouse at the entrance to Southampton Water, guiding flying boats into their terminals and warning ships of sandbanks. In December 2019 the ship was relocated to the Solent Sky Museum under plans for it to be converted into part of the museum's café.
