I am so fortunate to live where I do. Expansive Eastward views, and now, with all the leaves gone, I can see the Hudson River from my house. We are privy to this more often than we should be. No two are ever the same, and we all marvel at how beautiful sunrises can be every time we see these. You cannot find these colors anywhere else in nature, not even in those really big Crayon boxes :-)

These are some shots I got this morning at sunrise. All were taken using my iPhoneX. I utilized the Autostitch app to create the pano. Its not a great app, you can see the issues it has when stitching photos together. The others were created with the Lightroom app, and HDR setting. If there is a way to stitch panos in the LR app, I have yet to figure out how.

Those are all really nice, but I do see what you’re talking about with the auto stitch app. Beautiful sunrise.

Google Making Panorama images using Lightroom CC. I usually do mine in Photoshop using the "Photomerge" feature. I'm sure you know this but in case you don't. Make sure you have about a 25% overlap in the images you are taking to make your Pano.

Thanks. I can do pano's in LRCC, I just wanted to be able to quickly do it in the LR iPhone app. I dont see that option in the app.

Here is another pano from this morning. This was created from 7 photos on my iPhoneX, but I used PhotoStitcher2.0 on my iPhone to make this one. I think it looks better than the other app, but that may only be because the sky was darker. I'll need to try some more to know if it is an improvement. This was around 6:30am, and I like that I could get the moon in the sky.

Without downloading to get a better look, it looks like there is banding in the sky from the stitching.

You are correct. I wish I could find an app that did a better job of stitching, but I really don't want to pay for more apps. I have many photography apps, most of which I don't even use, so I know I don't need more. :-)
