Panorama Photos

One of the nice features of the new phone I have (an LG Optimus L9) is that it takes panorama photos. Sometimes the photos don’t come out great. If you’re panning from shade to light, the focus won’t adjust and the light part will get washed out. Likewise, if you pan from a light area to a dark area, it will be extremely dark. Some panoramas have obvious chopping on the photo where it didn’t splice correctly, probably due to my shaky hands or moving too fast. It also doesn’t recognize panning across a similar scene, like the horizon of the ocean with no variation. I can still get a few good panorama shots out of it though, sometimes taking the same shot multiple times so when I view it back on my computer, I have more options.  Here are some of the panorama shots I have taken.

Crystal River:

My friend and I bought Groupons to swim with manatees, which was in the Crystal River. The first picture was from the pier near where we started our trip. The second is from a dock where we were stranded after our boat overheated during a severe storm.

Kennedy Space Center:

I took a lot of panoramas here and a few problems that I had included the shots being too dark, so they came out fuzzy, and the text on some rockets creating a shadow text due to how it pieces the photos together. These are two of the good shots.
