I like to throw together the odd panorama.

I never put much thought into them to be honest but they sometimes turn out nicely.

Anyone else got any to share?

Having toc h camera kit, which predates "In-Camera" hardware generated panoramas, I rely on software to stitch together individual frames. The Microsoft ICE seems to do a good job most of the time:-

But it doesn't always go well. Witness, these two:-

- Too great an angular span for the total panorama and insufficient angular overlap between the component shots, meant that these two didn't join up.

I get asked for a login to see those pics.

Mine above are all stitched from several images, using PTGui. I do have a panorama mode in my phone which is pretty decent and have started to use that sometimes

Try the links now.

Sometimes the software thinks it can link-up the frames, but it can't and it produces distortion:-

Also, where the panorama spans an area moving away or to a light source, the linked shots won't tolerate a camera set to full automatic:-

And then occasionally, the software really goofs and links to like but disparate parts of different frames:-

But 75% of the time results aren't bad (And this was the first time I'd used the software):-

. . . . I think I got away with this one . . (Can you spot the join(s) ?):-

Nope purely handheld.

Fair bit of melt on that glacier. Where is it, if I may be so bold ?

You may, it is the Pasterze just off the Grossglockner in Austria.

When you walk down onto the glacier it is amazing how much it as shrunk in a relatively short time, the lift used to reach the main body, now there is a half hour hike!

A couple taken on my phone using the panorama function.

Here's one of mine. Corfe Castle just after sunrise, taken January 2012

This isn't my photo but as Briskoda is once again having the National Meet at Gaydon, I thought I'd upload this from the last one.

Some stunning photos in here. I'm strictly an amateur who discovered the panorama feature on my phone and got a bit trigger happy with it on holiday. Quality is pretty rubbish, but look not bad for no effort whatsoever.

Edit: I meant to post that as a link to the folder, but it done that instead, weird...

Some from my camera; fuji x10, all done in camera, hand held, all in Norway.

Some are actually quite nice, one is botch as a result of people moving too soon. I personally like my vertical ones. Although hard to get horizon level while hanging of a couple of #2 nuts.

I've taken both of these with the panoramic feature on my phone (Samsung Galaxy SIII). I reckon they're pretty good considering.

Original - very large!

have to say I always thought ones put together by hand look better

but thats my view

I don't normally do panos but had a go at them in Lofoten. Shot on tripod then used PTGUI to stitch them.
