I must be lopsided

I am noticing that I am having to straighten EVERY shot I take about 4 degrees to the right. Think my left leg is short or is my left ear heavy and pulls my head to the side??

Or your arm is weaker on that side

I got this cool lil gizmo that attches itself to the hotshoe on top of your camera. A little level that sits up there. Of course if you want to use your flash its useless

Check your horizon before you press the shutter

Use a Grid focusing screen if your DSLR has that option.

It helps me to keep both eyes open and not to tilt my head when I look into the viewfinder.

Honestly, I never feel too bad about straightening horizons. If the composition is sound, it's just a minor correction and nothing to worry about.

Man I have this same problem and it drives me NUTS!!!

+1 on focus Grid...

But I think the problem is you're slightly twisted...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I try to always remember to check my horizon but alas, I get home and I'm tilted. I'll have to see if there is a focus grid option on my camera.

As for being slightly twisted, yes, indeed, I think it is true.
