I’ve been playing around with Panoramas.
Last week I was in Margaret River and staying near the beautiful Gnarabup Beach.
So after a swim I took a panorama with the Samsung S21 Panorama mode and the above is what I got.
Over brekkie at the white elephant cafe down the beach I took a series of 3 photos and when I got home I used Luminar Neo’s Panorama Stitching (I did a quick video on how that works here) and here’s the result I got:
So, it’s pretty clear which one did a better job. But there’s more to it than that.
The middle image I took was soft, which it’s plain to see, thanks to a distraction whilst I was taking it.
Additionally the horizon line is wavy which I believe was due to me not taking enough care.
But it is a lot less distorted.
The moral of the story is that
1. Mobile phone cameras are already amazing and produce really good results overall and
2. If you don’t take care when taking images to stitch together you get disappointing results.
