360° Panorama: Brook, Union, Maine

File Under: /sketchbook/panos

This is a test of a tripod mount for my camera phone. I'd like to be able to shoot scenes with a nearer foreground. (Even at ranges of 50' or more, and even steadying the phone against stationary objects, I've been having problems.) Right now, the phone is a bit too loose, and can only be panned, not tilted. The parallax differences between neighboring images is vastly improved though.

Stitched together in Hugin from 19 camera phone pictures.
