Exploring Ottawa - Carp 2

in ,

Our time in Carp, ON would not be complete without a visit to the Diefenbunker. The Diefenbunker is an underground bunker left over from the cold war that was intended to house a functioning government in case of nuclear attack. Needless to say the place is pretty cool. 

There aren't a lot of underground bunkers left in Canada and most have been cemented in. This one almost received the same fate but was petitioned into an active museum. We are the only ones who can decide if this historic site will stay open to the public so go check it out for yourselves.

Multi-Photo Stitching

in , , ,

We try to create one of these shots on almost every shoot. The idea is to get wide angle shots with a shallow depth of field (blurry background and foreground). This is done by taking many photos of a subject and stitching them together in post. Imagine a photo is made up of puzzle pieces and each one of those pieces is an individual high resolution photo. When the puzzle is complete it makes up one large high resolution photo with the option of having a shallower depth of field than is optically possible with a 35mm digital sensor. Given that each photo is made up of dozens of photos stitched together it can be challenging to visualize the final product in the field and we don't get to see the results till we get home and do some work on the image. 

I found a few photos on my computer that had not yet been processed. These are the results.
