AutoStitch Panorama Website.
A common problem with the iPhone’s camera is that, due to its small lens, you can’t fit everything you’d like into a single photograph. That’s where AutoStitch Panorama ($2.99,link) comes in. As the name implies, the app stitches together multiple photographs to create panorama photographs. But panorama means more than just those long, rectangular landscape photos you’d normally associate with the word. It also means capturing tall buildings or any scenes too wide and tall for the iPhone’s lens. Essentially, AutoStitch is the wide-angle lens for the iPhone that lets you capture these scenes, and overall, it’s an indispensable tool for anyone who takes photos with the iPhone.
What I found most impressive about AutoStitch is how simple it is to use. The only real work you do is selecting the photos to stitch together, everything else is automated by the app. After taking the photos (which you must do outside of the app), you simply launch AutoStitch and select the photos you took. Then tap the Stitch button. The photos don’t have to be selected in any order. You can even make a mistake by including a wrong photo, and AutoStitch will ignore it.

The resulting photographs are usually detailed and blemish free—the app does a great job of blending photographs seamlessly. It helps if you use proper technique for a panorama, which is to keep the iPhone in one place but rotate it as if on a pivot for each photo.
After stitching, the resulting photos are often oddly shaped, with curving corners and bulging sides. AutoStitch includes a nice auto-cropping feature that can automatically cut the picture into a perfect rectangle suitable for framing. If you’re not satisified with results, you can take over the cropping and cut as you please.
The stitching process was relatively quick. It usually finished in less than 20 seconds, but occasionally a tricky set of photos could take up to a a minute or two. When you’re finished, you can save the resulting photo to the phone, email it, or post it to FaceBook.
And that’s it in terms of functionality. Autostitch does have a sparse Settings menu where you can change the amount of blending that goes on between the multiple, stitched-together photos. And another setting lets select the quality of the finished photo.
The app has come in handy more than I thought it would, but here’s a recent example. On a vacation, I wanted to take a picture of the hotel room I was staying in. Unfortunately, the iPhone camera lens couldn’t capture everything I wanted to. Enter AutoStich. Standing in one spot, I snapped several pictures by slightly tilting the angle of the iPhone until I captured it all. After stitching the photos together with AutoStitch, I ended up with a fish-eye view of the entire hotel room.
AutoStitch Panorama is an indispensable tool for iPhone photographers that functions as a kind of wide-angle lens for the iPhone, allowing you to capture scenes you couldn’t normally capture with the iPhone’s tiny lens. Simple and streamlined, the app is a hassle-free experience with resulting photographs that rarely show the effects of being blended together.
AutoStitch Panorama is a $2.99 download from the iTunes App Store.
In English language “an act of God” is a legal term, which is used to define natural disasters, which happen with no human intervention and are completely outside of their control. Floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides – all of these are examples of natural disasters, causing environmental, financial and, not rarely, human losses… If it is an act of God, what does it mean – the divine scourge for our sins, a reminder about the supreme power, or it is just one of the imminent components of the universe order, which keeps the scales between Good and Evil in balance? Let philosophers discuss this dilemma and find the reasonable explanation to it… With this post our goal is to give you visual illustrations of the extreme power of Nature in wrath and the terrible consequences of such natural disasters.
Some of the photographs of natural calamities, presented in this showcase, can terrify and increase the heartbeat. Though, this is only a tiny fraction of the feelings and emotional load, one goes through while being in the epicenter of the infuriated Nature. All of these pictures of natural disasters should not only be treated as the evidence of the supreme and omnipercipient power of God or Nature (whatever you choose based on your beliefs); while looking at the pictures below we suggest you remember that God is also all-forgiving and even the hardest storm will end with the beautiful rainbow… Maybe an act of God is just an extreme chance for people to respond in their turn with an act of Man and prove that mutual help and support, sympathy and kindness, self-sacrifice and love still remain at the core of the human soul…
