The iPhone Panoramic Camera

OK, no, I was not lucky enough to be the recipient of an iPhone 5. But as the very proud owner of an iPhone 4S, I was more than a little excited about the bells and whistles that came with the software upgrade (iOS 6) that we all automatically get when a new model comes out. So far, my most used tool is the new panoramic lens function. This ad should spell it all out for you:

As you can see the images vary in size depending on how much of a scene I was trying to capture, but I think the effects are pretty freaking amazing, especially considering they were shot with my cell phone! I mean, really? The future is such a weird place. But I’m liking it!
