Pano App

A recent web article turned me on to some iPhone photography apps that I hadn't heard of before, one of which I immediately downloaded and have enjoyed using. The app is called Pano and is a way to create panoramic photos in the iPhone. To start out, you take capture an initial image in the app, which then sets a semi-transparent edge of that photo at the left of the screen to assist in lining up the next photo. When you have taken all of the images you want to include (up to sixteen), the app uses algorithms to blend the images.

I have used it to create several panoramas and am amazed! It blends the photos seamlessly...as long as they are lined up reasonably well and don't have moving elements. The quality of the final image is going to be limited by the size and pixel count of the iPhone's sensor, so don't expect something you can print out at poster size. But, it still does really look good.

You can check out the app here, and at the App Store.

Here is a gallery on Flickr for panoramas created in Pano.
