I have been wondering whether other local guides believe it is a good idea or not to use panoramic photos when reviewing a place of interest or not. Occasionally I submit a panoramic photo like when doing a post in Local Guides Connect as a header for example. Modern cameras and phones all have this function available and it would be interesting to hear other guides views on the subject.

For sure you certainly see more of the scene but is it completely accurate?

I have found that there can be some distortion to the the picture, maybe because it is hand hand held and I have never tried to use a tripod to take a panoramic photos although when I think about it why not?

Hi @Grant1 ,

I like a lot your idea and I think it’s very useful to take more such panorama photos, because we can see more of the place where we are. I’ve tried many times to take panorama photos and that’s one of my last panorama photos that I took. It’s unfortunately a bit dark but it’s because of the weather and because I didn’t want to edit it with additional programs:

I will look forward for your next great post in this photography section.

I totally agree with @PoliMC about not altering photographs if they come out a little dark due to the weather conditions. That’s the true nature of photography what the camera captures the moment you click the button. I know professional use software programmes to insertnew blue skies and the like but not for me. So I like your panorama picture the way it is.
