Panoramic photos: elongated, distorted photos of dogs you might have nightmares about.

There are few experiences as hilarious as attempting to take a panoramic photo and realizing that it actually just looks horrible, funky, and distorted. Remember when they were all the rage? What was so important that you needed a panoramic view anyway? Like the photo needs to be a happy family smiling, but also some nondistinctive background of a mountain? It's pretty out of fashion now, but we can still laugh at how silly it was. Panoramic mode promises what it can't give – something beautiful, something outside of the realms of what a photograph can provide, an insight into a human eye's perspective. Wide landscapes, sweeping views, cinematic vibes, but it often delivers accidental surrealism instead. A horizon line bends into nonsense, buildings melt into each other, and time itself seems to glitch. It's photography's way of reminding us that just because we can capture everything around us doesn't mean we should.

The real hilarity comes out when something so diabolically funny enters the frame, such as an elongated doggo. Dogs weren't meant to be taken in panoramic camera modes. They go from cute and wholesome to something dragon-like and demonic. Panoramic photos rely on stillness and patience, and that doesn't come out when you try to take a photo of a dog. Their silly, smiling faces attached to a disjointed and obscenely long body, as if they don't even understand how silly they look.

It's the beginning of the week, and it's important to start on the right paw. What better way than with a series of hilarious panoramic dog photos that will have you buckled up laughing, clutching your stomach as it curls into an ab workout you never wanted. It may not be the most sensible way to start the week, but at least the sense of surrealism can inspire something artistic.

There's something so terrifyingly funny about these panoramic dogs. It's the perfect way to get out of bed, or out of a negative mindset or slumber. Seriously, these dogs stretched out but with smiling faces is too funny.
