Brenizer Method - Winter

in , ,

We recently got a new lens and wanted to try it out with a technique we like to use dubbed the "Brenizer Method" or "Bokehrama".  We've talked about this technique before but just to re-cap; this method allows us to capture wide shots with a shallow depth of field (blurry background). Getting these wide shots with very blurry backgrounds are impossible with today's lenses.  In short these are portrait panoramas stitched from dozens of photos.

This month's desktop will unfortunately not heal your winter blues. It's been in the news this past week that this winter really has been miserable - there's no hiding the fact. That being said, looking at this photo makes me feel like winter definitely has some cool things about it (no pun intended!).
