  • Google+ makes perfect panoramic pictures

    Google+ is so powerful!

    I took several pictures when I visited University of Brighton a while ago. I did not mean to make them into a panoramic scene at that time. I just stood by the road and took several random pictures. And today, when I am looking through my Google+ photos, I find this picture. Google+ automatically made a panoramic picture for me.

    Looking at this picture, I am shocked, because I can not find the seam. I have tried to make panoramic pictures before via different methods: integrated function of a camera, a software, a smartphone with 3-axis geomagnetic sensor. None of them came up such a good result even when I shot photos with a tripod.

    So I am wondering if this is a viable approach for a even better result:

    1. Shot photos with a SLR camera on a tripod.
    2. Transfer the photos to an Android phone.
    3. Will Android upload the photos and Google+ make a panoramic picture?
