Taking Creative Panoramic Photos With Samsung Galaxy S2

When taking photos in the panoramic mode, the camera takes 8 shoots as you sweep the phone left to right or from up to down, following direction of the arrow, keeping the image in the green square on the screen. Once completed the camera then stitches the images together to make one panoramic image. You can take images with the phone up-right or on it's side for different width image. As with phone images they are poor quality for printing, but it's a bit of fun, you can be creative and is OK for putting on your wall. It's trial and error to get a good image/stitch, you can stop though the pan between snaps, but only for a few seconds as the camera will clear and be ready to restart.     As I was panning, I would  stop so Juliana would take her next position before I would pan a little further.  (This image has been cropped)  Here I panned as Juliana running though the strawberry field.

But Europe is big and there is a lot to see! Spain has been amazing and has the most to offer, especially AndalucĂ­a and the scenic drive of the sierras with the pretty towns of Mula, Socovos, Ferez, Elche de la Sierra and the drive down to Aldea Mesones Molinicos was amazing. And I nearly forgot the drive on the N340a from Tabernas to Sorbas, taken in the mini Hollywood where they made spaghetti western filming locations .  I knew Spain was going to be a blast, but I found a lot more interesting places than I had imagined. It was hard to leave and there is more to see, that I have left for next time. The South ...
