Mobile phones have undeniably revolutionized the way people take photographs. Aside from being relatively more portable than standard cameras, they’re also packed with powerful features. These include the ability to take stunning panoramic photos without the need for a tripod nor complicated camera settings.
All you have to do is choose a stationary subject and keep a steady hand as you rotate your phone to complete the shot. Your phone will even display an alignment box to guide you along the way. Sounds easy, right? Now, you might even be thinking that it’s impossible to mess up on such a simple process. Well, apparently, there are some things that you can’t control, and these panorama fails will prove just that.

The rule of thumb when taking panoramic pictures is to keep a steady hand. And as much as possible, you would want to choose a stationary subject like a scenic landscape. When done right, the result can be breathtaking, offering a spectacular, wide-angle view of just about any physical space. But what happens when your pet suddenly photobombs the scene? Or when your live subject unexpectedly feels an itch?
