From the time of day to using extra equipment, heres what I do to capture stunning panoramic pictures.
The light is softer, which makes for better pictures.

That way, youll create the right distance between your subjects and your phone.
When taking panoramic pictures, I sometimes use silhouettes and shadows for a better effect.
This one can take a bit of experimentation because some shadows are more of an annoyance.
When taking pictures with my mirrorless camera, I always use a narrow aperture for landscape photography (i.e.
f/8 or later).
you’re able to do the same with Portrait Mode.
Look closely around to see if theres anything that stands out.
If youre near a river or canyon, you could use those to create symmetry in your picture.
Features like this are also handy if you want touse leading lines in photography.

Other interesting features to look out for include lakes and patches of snow on mountains.
However, zooming out can improve how your picture looks.
If your rig doesnt have this option, you should zoom out as much as it allows.

The line will go yellow when youre holding your gear straight.
This is especially true if youre taking pictures in difficult conditions, such as when its cold or windy.

However, gimbals and tripods are usually a better option.
