Must See: Montana Fall Road Trip - 2022

Wild Goose Overlook - St. Mary's Lake - East Side Going to the Sun Road - Glacier National Park Fall is like the blissful sunset of a beautiful day. The colors of the year blazing into brilliant reds and oranges. The weather holding out the last vestiges of warmth. And all the world seems to be curling up over a cozy mug of hot chocolate in the waning light. Just before the cold night of winter settles in. I love fall. And everything that it brings with it. Especially, I love the mountains in fall. How they can go from striking to moody in a matter of moments. And, (even) most especially, I love Glacier National Park in the fall.

The Capitol at Night: Testing the iPhone's Panoramic Function


The US Capitol building during the blue hour. 
The design people at Apple brought out a panoramic function with the upgrade to iOS 6. I know the functionality has been out for a while now, but I am just now getting the opportunity to test it out.

So, here it is - testing the iPhone's panoramic function. Considering the functionality, it does a really good job for simple panoramic pictures. You will notice quite a bit of noise when shooting evening shots like this one. But, if you use it right, it can add a beautiful, old-school grain to your shots.

The iPhone uses a video to capture the image, stitching together frames as you move the iPhone across the capture zone. Even looking closely, it is difficult to tell that any stitching has been done.

The usability is good. Just follow the direction arrow and keep the iPhone steady. The panoramic program will do the rest.

Have a great iPhone panoramic? I would love to see it. Put a link in the comments below.

Check back for more tests and pictures with the iPhone panoramic function.
