Default Small Carpenter's Level and Magnifying Glass

This idea - may or may not help folks but I will put it in anyway.

I have found the use of a small plastic level makes my images have architecturally straight lines. This I cannot do by just aiming my cam at something - even on a tripod. With my Graph Paper Plastic Grid Lines on the cam screen - I have a double check as I work at this task.

I have included my original and my worked up copy - NO IMAGE ROTATION needed - on the P C using this level. This post on the right side is my guide line. This is at the Market with the video cam.

I hold the level against the flat side of the cam. Also, I sometimes use a magnifying glass or lupe with the level to double check the bubble placement in the level.
