It’s addictive: You try it once — activate the panorama mode in your iPhone Camera app, rotate steadily, stretch until the ding-ding sound signals you’ve finished — and an itch to try another one immediately follows.

This option offered by iOS 6 has created a whole new genre of iphoneography, and this is a small sample of what’s been spectacularly shot.

See more of what we’ve curated today in the Panoramas Via iPhone gallery, and share your panoramic shots like these in the Apple iPhone / iOS 6 Panoramas group.
