Panorama fun

When a new toy has a gimmicky feature it would be silly not to try it out! Quite what I might do with panoramas made in-camera I'm not sure. They do provide a different way of seeing, it's not like what an ultrawide angle or even fish-eye lens will give as there is no curvature, it's a different kind of distortion. It was misty afternoon, so doing these by hand left a lot to be desired - although they do demonstrate the effectiveness of the camera's software.




The 'straight' view of the above pano'

Where I think the effect works best is at what might be called crossroads. A series of such shots taken with more planning and care could be interesting. Click on the pics to get a better impression.
