I love those old panoramic pictures. The cameras actually panned from one side to the other. It would take 30 or 40 seconds to complete the pan, and the folks sitting for the picture were supposed to stay still until it stopped turning. But sometimes people on one side would wait until the camera panned past them and then get up and run around the back of the camera and get in place on the other side before the pan made it there. So they would appear on both sides in the same picture.
