265 Times People Tried To Make A Panorama And Ended Up Opening The Gates Of Hell
Panoramic pictures can be breathtaking if done right - a spectacular view stretching beyond the scope of peripheral vision, all in one frame. When left up to phone-wielding amateurs, however, they turn the panorama photo world into a warped, mutated circus of fear.
Since a panorama is just a collage of images stitched together seamlessly to appear as one large panoramic view image, the process of producing one must be handled slowly and with a steady hand. It also requires any elements being captured in the vista to stay completely still, since movement is the cause of all epic fails in the panorama department. If one element budges even slightly from the position, it held in the previous frame, by the time it all fuses together, you're left with nightmarishly funny photos.
Check out some of the funny fails that happened while attempting to take a panoramic picture Bored Panda could find below, and don't forget to add yours!

When capturing panoramic images, the last thing you'd want is to create an unintended masterpiece of chaos. Much like how celebrities can surprise us with unexpected actions that change public perception, panorama fails often reveal humorous and unexpected distortions.
For an interesting juxtaposition of how perception can shift in both photography and celebrity lives, explore the surprising shifts in public views through unsettling celebrity stories.
