Motivation
You are standing on top of a tall building, or a mountain, or a cruise ship. The view is amazing. You want a picture that captures the enormous, the grandiose.
A selfie won’t do. The picture needs to be really big. Much bigger than any camera can capture.
So you need to take a bunch of pictures and stitch them together.
Cozumel, For Example
You can see a big part of the town. Zoom to see individual people going about their daily routine.
