Panoramic/joiner photographs overview

A panoramic/joiner image is showing a FOV (field of view) approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye – about 160° by 75°, it generally has a aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as it is high. The resulting images take the form of a wide strip.
