Have you tried capturing this sort of scene as a Live image, which then allows you the potential to create a long exposure image from that? Just using the native camera app on the later iPhones. This particular scene would be perfect for it, just keep it a little loose at the edges to accommodate the cropping in as it creates the stabilisation of the frames captured.
 
Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I tend to interpret "Photo of the Day" as being just that -- a still photo, as opposed to anything shot as a video, a 360-degree image or a "live image" thingy on the iPhone (a feature which I promptly turn off on any iPhone I am using). Maybe if people want to have a "Video of the Day" thread here, too on MR, of course that would be fine, but I'd guess it would more appropriately belong in the Digital Video subforum (?) That way this would leave the sharing of still images shot for or included in this POTD thread to those of us who are primarily interested in doing just those...and from an administrative perspective forum-wide keep everything neat and tidy with regard to formats and places where various formats are shared....? Still photography and videography are very different animals and IMHO should be treated as such....

Sorry? Where has anyone shared anything apart from "still" images in this thread?

A 360 photo is a still image that you can look completely around. It is not a moving image, it is a still image, just presented slightly differently, maybe it could assist you to think of it as the logical progression of a panorama?

My suggestion that someone uses the Live capture and then assembles a long exposure from that is presenting a "still" image again.

My 360's are either captured as a series of still images captured on my Sony cameras or via my Ricoh Z1 360 twin fisheye lens camera. They are not video captures in any sense of the term.

Thank you for the clarification! I really wasn't sure exactly what a 360 photo actually is all about.... I think maybe the problem for me is that someone cannot just look at a 360-degree image straightforwardly, has to take additional action to look at it fully..... That's a good way of defining it as a "logical progression of a panorama."

That "Live" capture thing on the iPhone is something which, as I said, I always turn off immediately when setting up an iPhone as it simply does not interest me and I find it annoying. Whether or not someone else employs it and uses it to create a long exposure from it is something I'd never even considered, and that is an interesting idea!

You're more than welcome, Clix. I could see that the movement aspect of it as you look around could be confused as video. I am quite fascinated with it as a means to present a richer experience of "Place" to others!

The only time I use the Live capture of the iPhone is for instantly creating a long exposure image. If you are steady with your bracing when taking the capture, it works well and is simple to achieve after. When viewing the aforementioned techno-atrocity hereby known as 'Live whatever' (I still don't know what it is!) you swipe up on the image from the bottom of the screen and voila! A series of instant edit options will appear for you! Swipe to the right to reach the Long Exposure option. It is actually a neat little trick buried away there in the iPhone, especially for capturing water movement, but has worked marvellously for me on some long tall grasses blowing around, to create an image akin to a half second exposure!

Well, I'll be darned! I never would have imagined that Live whatever trick in a hundred years! I'll have to try it, just for kicks. That is a very cool thing, and too bad Apple doesn't make it better known. All this time I've just ignored the "Live" feature -- guess I've been missing something pretty interesting!

A place I snap often. Not the best image I've made of it - it lacks life, but possibly the best technical photo I've taken of it in terms of how I set the aperture to get the look I wanted, how I optimised the exposure (with the smaller format I'm using in this instance, it is easy to get noisy shadows in this scene - it's easy-peasy with my full frame camera) and processed it in Capture One. Pen F and Olympus 25mm f1.8.
