Anyone here into the Brenizer method? For those unfamiliar with it, it is a single image composed of several shots stitched together to make a large photo with the subject sharp and the rest blurred out due to using a wide aperture. Often this will be a figure or couple in a landscape. usually you would have to zoom in and shoot wide open to blur out the background resulting in an intimate shot. If you use a wide-angle lens for a sweeping, panoramic shot then pretty much everything is in focus and the aperture makes little difference.

I shot this one on Sunday as an experiment. Shooting handheld I photgraphed the signs zoomed in at 70mm at f/2.8 then three or four shots to the right then the same sequence above and below leaving an overlap of about 30-50%. Using Photoshop's Photomerge command I simply told it to stitch them and it did an amazingly good job of figuring what went where considering how much of the image is featureless sky or tarmac. I really like this effect and plan on taking a model out somewhere to try it with a human subject.

Anyone got any Brenizer shots to show?
