garden panoramarama

A million thanks to the talented landscapers and gardeners who create a luscious paradise every summer around my building. Here are some panoramic shots I took after this morning's rain.

Love the fountains and the whole George Jetson feel.

What kind of camera did you use for the panoramas?

Yeah, I like our space-age fountains too! They were originally built in 1959, and when they rebuilt the grounds in 2005, they did a nice job of keeping most of the original design while adding some contemporary garden features and benches.

I took the panoramas with my mobile phone(a Nokia N8 12 MP) because despite the small lens, my mobile cam produces better resolution photos than my 4 year-old digital SLR (8 MP)! I use an app suite called "Camera Lover" for the Symbian-3 platform. It contains 5 different photo format tools, including Panorama and Retromatic (like Instagram, makes things look "vintage").

It has taken some practice to get smoothly transitioned images, but it's a great app and one of my favourite toys at the moment. By the way, there's some more cool panoramas over at my photo blog -
