By: Alec Donaldson | Published: Sep 29, 2023

Photos don’t always do justice to vast landscapes, so many turn to panoramic shots to capture the beauty of the world around them. Nevertheless, this technique, which uses specialized equipment or software to create elongated images, can be tricky when subjects move.

While mountains may stay put, an unexpected guest could quickly turn your photo into a hilarious creature feature, transforming them into a funny Cerberus or another monster altogether.

Nothing but Horseplay Gone Wrong

When a panoramic photo goes awry, it can lead to hilarious results. Just ask the unfortunate horse who found himself the victim of a camera glitch. In one snapshot, it appeared to be a one-legged donkey, much to the amusement of whoever took this photo and the internet at large.

While the photo may not have been what its owner hoped for, it certainly gave everyone a good laugh who saw it. Just remember, when taking panoramic photos, be prepared for the unexpected, especially when it comes to our furry friends!

From Cute to the Cutest
