I AM HAVING a blast with the free Nokia Panorama software bundled to my Lumia 925. I has generated several photographs deserving of their own galleries.
Ten years ago, I tediously stitched together a dozen images at a time, using software on my PC. Five years ago, I uploaded batches to a Microsoft Photosynth server and waited for the result. Today, it is much simpler be ause I just snap shots in the Lumia app and everything comes out perfectly--better than I can get with an iPhone 5.
