Now that we live in the Digital Age, taking photographs has never been easier. You don’t even need an actual camera, just a smartphone! Not only can your phone take good quality photographs in most settings, it ALSO offers features that used to be available only to professionals–like panorama mode.

Panorama photos are a great way to capture the scope of a scene that’s wider than your eye can see. Even better, your phone massively simplifies the process. It used to be that if you wanted a panorama, you had to take many individual photos and put them together. It was a precise, painstaking experience that only a masochist could possibly enjoy. Today, you press hit a button.

But just because a process is simplified doesn’t mean it’s easy. If you’ve taken a panorama, you know that the slightest disturbance will screw the whole thing up. Twitch your hand while taking a panorama of the Paris skyline and suddenly it looks like a massive earthquake just hit.

Here are 15 people who tried to capture something cool and failed miserably. And in their failure, they created something even better! (via Bored Panda)
