One way to get more resolution or field of view is to create a panorama — take more photos and put them together. My previous two posts have been about this, and am following up with a few more examples of Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
As I’ve mentioned before, I used AutoStitch on my iPhone 3G S. Much of the panoramas were an experimentation of adding some time and positional elements, which resulted in pretty cool stitched photos.
To get what I call the time element, I stayed in the same place a few minutes waiting for dynamic elements of the scene to change — e.g. cars, people, clouds. By doing this, things that are static remain more solid and things that move have a ghost-like quality to them.
To get what I call the positional elements, I tried to focus on a feature as I walked along a path. In these examples, I focused on the Arc while moving towards it. This tends to create an impressionist-painting-like effect.

I wanted an app on the iPhone that stitched mosaics/panoramas on the iPhone without having to off-load anything. So, I searched the App store for “panoramas” and found a bunch, and tested them. I found three apps that I liked:
- AutoStitch
- Pano
- PanoLab
My clear favorite was AutoStitch, since it seemed to be the easiest to use. All I had to do was to select a bunch of photos that I took for a panorama, throw them in a “bucket,” and then click “stitch.” After crunching away, it created some pretty awesome stitched mosaics. All photos that you see posted here are stitched using AutoStich. Definitely try it out.
