Sometimes the mistakes look good too

This is an attempt at a autostitch multi-image panorama, made up of 52 individual photos that attempted to capture a full 360 view. My photos where taken hand held and not exactly in rotational order. So I’m not all that surprised that autostitch had a hard time with the matchups. I’m not sure how some of these images where used upside down but the resulting incorrect stitching has a certain abstract charm.

the more correct stitching is shown below (I have to eliminate some of my photos) and turn off auto straightening in autostitch to get this image. You can still see the shade banding due to unmatched exposures between images.
