Sweeping landscapes, majestic skylines, views as far as the eye can see. That’s the beauty of panoramic photography. It can take us on an epic journey that “normal” pictures can’t come close to. But only if the person holding the camera knows exactly what they’re doing, has a steady hand and the world doesn’t make any sudden movements.
Panoramic perfection is not easy to achieve. More often than not, expectations do not meet reality and instead of an artistic masterpiece, we’re presented with a masterpiece of a different kind. One which deserves its rightful place in the comedic hall of fame.
Bored Panda has put together a compilation of some of the wildest, funniest and cursed panoramic photos spotted online. Expect missing torsos, oversized “lower backs,” two-headed dogs, and a rather drunken Eiffel Tower. These are the moments when everything tried to come together in one glorious, ultra-wide frame but failed spectacularly, with hilarious results.

Panoramic perfection isn’t achieved overnight. It’ll likely take a few hits and misses before many people are finally able to get the money shot the first time around. But there are some tips and tricks you can dip into to get to the finish line a little faster.
Let’s assume you’re using your mobile phone. Once you’ve selected Panorama mode, you should see a screen with 1 or 2 arrows and a line across the screen. Start by pressing the round shutter button, then move your phone across the scene you wish to capture, from left to right or right to left.

You’ll need to have a steady hand and not make any sudden movements in order to keep the arrow on the line. If you pan too fast, your camera may struggle to put all the images together, and your final shot could end up featured on a listicle like this one. You can tap the square to stop once you’ve reached the end of your panorama scene.

Holding the phone vertically works best when capturing landscapes and many other panoramic shots. Photographer Kathy Eyster also advises that you practice the start and end points of your panorama before recording and that you use the 1x lens to prevent distortion.
“Don’t have objects too close to the camera to avoid ‘curved’ lines that are supposed to be straight,” adds the expert.

#25 I Took A Few Pics At Lake Louise Today And Google Offered Me This Panorama
I am not the guy in the photo, that’s my friend whom I photographed against the background!
This was Google’s work and not my terrible photoshopping skills!
I literally took like 3 pictures, one with them in, and two without them. And for some bizarre reason, Google Assistant offered me a really strange panorama of the 3 photos spliced together.
