Trying to get more sky than facade (maybe our only sun today!) but allergic to tilting-backwards facades, so the result with a higher waistband than intended ... iPhone 2x panorama just rotating at the wrist. Unsurprisingly cropped 13:4.
Got a tip for us?

All very nice.I got some panorama's yesterday with my iPhone 13PM, both vertical and horizontal on a walk in Raleigh, NC with my son. Had a really nice afternoon with my son walking around down town. We had a meal at a place my son suggested in town where I had never eaten before. Fun experience, and some really tasty food. We also stopped at Bond park to get some snaps.

Morgan Street Food Hall - Never saw so many places to eat under one roof. Was a tough choice what to pick. It's Huge!

CC Always Welcome
LR = Lightroom Classic and PS = Photoshop
If you don't use either of those programs, then there are others linked in the first post, although I haven't used any of them, but many are free.
It was an experiment as I wrote, but it would be useful for statues or tall buildings
I didn’t change the settings and it was on the default 1x , iPhone 12 Pro . I don’t have extra lenses for the iPhone if you meant that. If instead it was about the 2x zoom I didn’t even think of using it: too much concentration on the vertical panorama 🙂
Just to keep my hand in ... Probably should have cropped the right side a bit more to even out the railings from side to side .
good light on the BQE viaduct supports
Gowanus, Brooklyn, from the Culver viaduct
(cropped to panorama)
So this proved to be a tough shot for the Oly Tough. Could not track down the screen brightness adjustment so was shooting nearly blind. Did manage to keep things level despite that handicap. When I got back to the car I discovered there was a bit of highlight clipping but decided to let it be.

Shot UWA (10mm) and then cropped. Just haven't been able to pickup the camera as much as I'd like lately.
I know this is a harder challenge for some of you based on equipment limitations, but I love all the entries. ❤️
Similar shot to yesterday, but a better location. This time with the Lumix ZS200 camera. Again 3 horizontal panels. Much easier to maintain levels when using the Live View Finder. Best viewed at full resolution.
Train came by as I was setting the location. I was a fraction of a second early releasing the shutter, but I'm happy with the panoramic style result. Obviously some cropping involved.

Beach and mountains
It's difficult to resize it for the forum, loosing a lot. Any suggestions?
CC 🌷
My original CC was to have you try to capture a more extreme ratio, but you did that in your last two images.
The only way to have higher res images in the forum is to link them from a hosting site of some sort like Flickr (free) or Smugmug/Zenfolio (paid options) or the like.
Thanks, but the original is 78gb… plus I don’t think is worthy
Wide spaces require at least 8 or 9 photos. The beach had a curve that needed even more shots.
I’m missing the enthusiasm of being in new places where you want to capture gorgeous panorama to bring with you forever .
At home, with gray or hazy days like this week it’s difficult to find the enthusiasm and the time [spring break…, you know what I mean…😉 ]
I’m still very grateful for the lessons: learning is always fascinating. 💖
Roaming around pond and beach I got few wildlife shots that compensated the rest…beside running after dog and kids 😄

I only had quick opportunity this (yesterday) morning on the Boofwalk (TM Pending) to fire off a couple of panoramas. Following on from @mollyc 's experiences with iphone pano's. Tomorrow, today morning, it's just after 1am here, I'll have a play with the nodal head and assemble something in LR CC.
This was interesting to observe the levels of barrelling present in the iphone 13 PM as it automagically assemble pano's, regardless of vertical or horizontal nature. The phone was used in opposite orientation to plane of capture orientation, so it was held vertically for the horizontal capture, and vice-versa for the vertical capture, short as that is.
They were rather stacked in their poor odds of success, as I was relatively close to the subjects, being maybe five to eight metres away from them, so I am also including images cropped to similar proportions and composition captured with the wide-angle lens of the phone for the distortionless images. I'll try to get back to the same places for camera captures tomorrow with the nodal head and assemble them in LR CC as a comparison.

Had to go to one of my rental properties today. So, I thought I'd grab some panos while there. Went to the lake across the road and got one too. Beautiful day today.

Thank you for sharing these! Of course the regular WA lens looks better/no distortion, but knowing how to use the panorama mode is helpful if you run into a spot where you just need something wider. Thanks for joining in your first week back!
Love this crop.
I love the lake one!
Absolutely! I like the Panoramic feature on the iPhone, it’s a great tool for scenes where there’s some breathing room between you and the features in that area being captured.
I’m intrigued to find out at what sort of distance the barrelling is reduced enough to be imperceptible with the iPhone and a couple of lenses I have for the mirrorless cameras. I went through an experiment of that nature with the 6D and 24-105mm lens at its widest back in 2014, but can’t recall the results now. 🤔
One vertical, one horizontal. Turned out better than I expected considering I had to shoot them freehand under less than optimal lighting conditions (my tripod broke a few days ago).
Shot with the iphone 14 pro but not with the pano mode. 4 RAW photos stitched together in LR. Unfortunately the 5th could not be used.
It is stunning what level of detail I get with it. I am more a fan of having a dedicated camera in my hands but what should I say, I am quite impressed.
