Taking the perfect panorama photo isn’t easy. For starters, you need to make sure that nothing in the frame is moving. Otherwise, you’ll be in for a big surprise when you check the image out afterward.
That’s what happened to these amateur photographers. They pulled out their phones, started recording, and ultimately, had no idea what they were doing. It resulted in 75 photos that are both ridiculous and hilarious.
From cats that have bodies stretching across an entire room to people that look like mutants, this list will show you exactly what happens when you fail at capturing a panorama. Learn from their mistakes, or don’t. It’s up to you. The truth is that some of these images are actually quite cool.
1. Incoming Wave
The phone got turned sideways in the middle of this beach panorama shot. It caused the waves to swell up well above their normal size. It looks like a giant tsunami is about to hit.
2. Stretched Dog
Sometimes, pets get in the way while you are taking a photo. That’s what happened here. The photographer was doing a panorama of the garden and their little puppy strolled by.
3. Dad Clone
Do you notice anything strange about this family photo? Someone appears in it multiple times. It turns out, it’s the father-in-law trying to be clever.
4. Missing Model
This panorama was taken at London Fashion Week. One of the models is so skinny from dieting that she is essentially invisible. The only parts of her body that can be seen are her feet.
5. Double Girlfriends
“My phone has a wide selfie feature similar to a panorama. You need to sit still for it to work. My girlfriend sneezed, and this happened,” explains the man. It made it look like she had two heads!
6. Broken Dog
This dog is looking a little broken. Can someone help us to put him back together again? He is in two pieces and neither of them really fit with each other.
7. Concert Vibes
The lights switched in the middle of this concert panorama photo. It actually turned out really interesting. It has a very artistic vibe that captures the energy of the concert perfectly.
8. Glowing Stadium
A similar thing happened in this photo. The lights changed in the middle of the shot making the stadium look like something out of the future. It’s pretty crazy.
9. Cat Caterpillar
Here we have one of the longest cats that we have ever seen. In fact, it looks more like a furry caterpillar than a cat. It has dozens of tiny legs!
10. Crazy Eyes
At first glance, this photo doesn’t look too out of the ordinary. However, check out the eyes. They are a little out of sync with each other. One of them looks much crazier than the other.
11. Guard Dog
It’s the mythical Cerberus from Greek mythology, otherwise known as the three-headed hound that guards Hades. Traditionally, the vicious hound prevents people from leaving the underworld. However, this one actually looks pretty friendly.
12. Looking Big
This is what it looks like when a panorama goes wrong. The glitch added hundreds of pounds to the man’s weight and stretched him out in all of the worst places. It’s not the stylish look he was going for.
13. Troll Transformation
This woman ended up with a troll face after a failed panorama shot. It’s surprisingly hilarious. It seems like something out of a cartoon.
14. Hand Placement
No, this photo is not pornographic. It certainly looks that way, but it’s actually his own hand that he is holding. Get your mind out of the gutter!
15. Drunk Art
Here we have a similar artistic nude shot. Technically, he was wearing pants during the panorama shot, however, he happened to fall forward while it was being taken. He was very drunk.
16. Sunbathing Goof
This photo came out surprisingly tall. It’s a vertical panorama. In addition, half of it is upside-down. The man really had no clue how to take a panorama properly.
17. Selfie Pro
Who needs a selfie stick when your hand is longer than your body? She has the ultimate selfie arm. She must be really popular among her friends when taking group photos.
18. Miniature Horse
Where is the rest of the body of this horse? Somehow, it didn’t make it into the panorama photo. Either that or it’s an obscure two-legged horse species that has just been discovered.
19. Creepy Crawler
Here we have a very excited baby. He is having a lot of fun crawling across the floor and pretending that he is a centipede. He has a very powerful imagination.
20. Amateur Contortionist
We’re not even sure what’s going on in this photo. It looks like someone was trying to take a bath and accidentally got folded into a human pretzel. The man’s abilities defy the laws of nature.
21. Taking A Plunge
This could have been a very cool photo. Instead, it ended up looking like there were a bunch of body parts being thrown into a lake. It’s downright freaky.
22. Poke-Man
Is this some sort of new Pokemon? That’s our best guess. The man was playing Pokemon on his phone while walking and magically turned into one.
23. Ocean’s Edge
It turns out, the sayings about sailing off of the edge of the earth are true. This photo is proof. The only other explanation is that it is a poorly taken panorama.
24. Dog Surprise
The beach is a great place for taking panorama shots. You just have to make sure that no animals are running by. Otherwise, your photo might end up like this one.
25. Elephant Dog
This Dachshund has an extra-long snout. The failed panorama photo makes him look like a baby elephant. He belongs out on the open savannah.
26. Choppy Horizon
When you’re in Hawaii, you have to take a lot of photos. It’s pretty much a given. However, somewhere along the line, this cool sunset panorama got a little messed up.
27. Phantom Finger
This failed panorama resulted in a floating middle finger. It is suspended in thin air. It must belong to a phantom.
28. Extended Punch
Wouldn’t it be neat to have arms this long? You would instantly become a boxing champion. You could knock out anyone in the ring without them ever getting close to you.
29. Additional Arm
This man has a third arm propping up his chin. It is coming out of his chest. It’s a weird place to have an arm, but we imagine it definitely comes in handy.
30. London Bridge
We’ve all heard the song “London Bridge Is Falling Down” before. This is the real-life version of it. Based on the photo, the bridge is moments away from completely collapsing.
31. Big Butt
This woman got a panoramic makeover. The photo added some curves to her frame. Let’s just say she is a little bottom-heavy now.
32. Horse In Motion
Here we have the world’s smallest horse. It’s a total miracle that it can support the jockey. It is one of the most ridiculous things that we have ever seen.
33. Growing Limbs
“Some say they gain weight when they go on vacation, I guess I gained a little more than that!” writes the woman. She gained an extra hand while she was at the beach. It is pretty unusual.
34. Abstract Model
Sometimes, when you move during a panorama photo you end up looking like an abstract painting. This image could have easily been produced by Picasso. We wouldn’t even have questioned it.
35. Action Shot
There is a lot of motion in this pic. It caused the woman to grow at least seven heads. It makes us dizzy just looking at it.
36. Future Drivers
If we didn’t know any better, we would have guessed this was a futuristic car driven by a robot hand. It turns out, it’s just another failed panorama. Maybe, one day, this car model will be a reality, although, there isn’t much space for passengers.
37. Energetic Pup
It’s very hard to get a dog to stand still long enough to take a panorama. In fact, it’s pretty much impossible. We have never seen it done successfully.
38. Tidal Wave
Imagine being in the water when this wave showed up. It would be a huge disaster. Luckily, it’s not actually real though. It’s just a panorama fail.
39. Split Statue
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most photographed landmarks in the United States. Although, this photo definitely didn’t go as planned. The photographer will just have to buy one of the Lady Liberty postcards that they sell on the streets instead.
40. Natural Beauty
This guy tried to pose for a panorama shot out in nature. Something went wrong in the process. He lost all of his midsection and was left with just a tiny head balancing on a set of legs.
41. Drinking And Taking Photos
This woman doesn’t even look human anymore after the botched panorama. She is one giant blurry blob. We imagine that the photo fail was probably a result of the wine consumption.
42. Flying Bird
Here we have a sequence of a bird flying, taken by accident. The bird decided to take off right as the panorama started. There is also a man who appears fascinated by the action.
43. Partial Family Members
There’s nothing to see here, folks. It’s just a random pair of legs that are missing a body on the end of a huge couch. Don’t worry, it’s totally normal.
44. Corgi Pillar
“I took a photo of Butters the corgi while she was swimming on panorama mode. It created a Corgi-pillar,” explains the photographer. It is one long corgi, that is for sure! She almost looks like an eel.
45. Distorted Face
Panorama mode on your phone is not meant for close up photos of people. That’s what this photographer learned recently. He made his friend’s face appear as though it was melting.
46. Castle Tower
We’ve heard of the leaning tower of Pisa before, however, this is the first time that we’ve seen a leaning castle. There is a big difference between the two though. Technically, this castle is entirely structurally sound.
47. New Species
This panorama photo ended up creating a completely new animal. According to the photographer, it’s a “Horsetaur: half horse, half another horse.” It’s big enough for multiple people to ride on it.
48. Third Leg
In this photo, there is a long arm with a cast on it where we would expect a different body part to be. We suppose the guy is really excited about nature. That’s the only logical explanation.
49. Table Centerpiece
There is not a lot out of place in this panorama photo. It looks just fine, except for one thing — the random head sitting on the middle of the table. We imagine that’s an error.
50. Focused Belief
If you believe you can fly, you can. That’s the real secret. Anything you concentrate super hard on will become reality.
51. One-Legged Cow
Here we have a goofy panoramic picture of cows. One of them got chopped up a little bit though. Can you tell which one it is?
52. Cow In Action
In this cow panorama, one of them decided to started moving. It wasn’t content to just stand there and eat grass. It went searching for greener pastures.
53. Floating Hand
This could have been a very cool cityscape photo. However, he just had to move his arm to play with his jacket zipper. It changed everything!
54. Shifting Terrain
This city view was also a result of a failed panorama. It appears as though a massive earthquake is happening. Half of the city is tilted at an angle.
55. Flat Face
Have you ever wondered what your face would look like if it was flattened out? If so, no problem. Just take a photo of your head on panorama mode.
56. Goat Creature
Originally, this was supposed to be a goat selfie panorama. However, it looks like the goat mutated in the process. Its face has become a twisted mess.
57. Disembodied Legs
“My friend stood up during a panoramic shot and all that I got were his disembodied floating legs,” explains the man. It’s good he clarified that for us. We would have guessed it was a picture of a murder scene.
58. Girlfriend Multiplier
The girlfriend was swaying to some music during her boyfriend’s panorama photo. This is what happened. He got more of her than he bargained for.
59. Weird Breed
This is a really interesting dog breed. That’s for sure. It only has two legs and it is very tall compared to the length of its body.
60. Stretching Out
Kid’s gymnastics can be pretty entertaining. Parents love watching their kids having fun and playing around. It’s actually surprising how flexible some of the young gymnasts are too.
61. Bendable Doggy
Here we have a dog that is a little longer than most. He is very bendy in the center. He can contort his body into all kinds of weird positions.
62. Lengthy Finger
Some panoramas are just kind of gross. For example, this guy’s photo. He made it look like he has the world’s longest index finger. It’s great for pointing at things.
63. Big Bendy Tower
It would be pretty neat if the Big Ben clock tower actually looked like this. It would be an architectural phenomenon. Balancing large buildings at weird angles is no easy feat.
64. Bus Or Train?
This panorama resulted in a bus that looks like a big yellow train. It’s about ten different buses smashed together. Hopefully, the bridge is able to support all of that weight.
65. Beach Body
While the boy was playing in the sand, the dad’s body completely transformed. Now, he is just a head on a leg. When the boy eventually looks up, he is going to be so freaked out.
66. Panorama Decapitation
Normally, decapitation is a little messier than this. This one looks like a very clean separation. There isn’t even any blood showing.
67. Windy Day
This girl has a pretty goofy-looking haircut. Her forehead is completely bald but the back is very long. It’s a new twist on the classic mullet.
68. Nice Girlfriend
No, the woman is not normally this unattractive. It’s all the boyfriend’s fault. He is really bad at taking photos, especially panoramas.
69. Invisibility Power
Is this a photo of the Invisible Man? All we can see are the clothes that the guy is wearing. He is definitely a superhero of some sort.
70. Hand Head
This man has a hand where his head is supposed to be. We’re not sure how he can see where he is going. He must navigate entirely by using his sense of touch.
71. Scooter Action
Riding a scooter isn’t supposed to be this crazy. However, the photo definitely makes it look like it is. It appears as though there is a train of scooter riders all on top of each other.
72. Extra Workers
If only real life was like this. We could just create multiple clones of ourselves using our phones. It would make getting chores done so much easier.
73. Vacation Pic
“Our self-taken panorama of my husband and I at the Grand Canyon turned out better than expected,” writes the woman. Both of them merged into one very wide human with three legs.
74. Creative Art
This abstract art photo ended up a little more abstract than the model wanted. It was supposed to just be the background mural that was abstract. Not his actual body.
75. Impressive Trick
In this failed panorama, it looks like the dog is running through the brick wall. She goes in one side and comes out of the other. It’s a pretty cool trick.
