Tried Another Brenizer method shot today using a canon 50mm f/1.4 @ f/1.8. There is a lot more distortion with the 50mm but the effect is still impressive. Aside from vignette removal this photo is unedited.
Trying Out the Brenizer Method
We went out today with one task in mind - attempting the Brenizer method. For those of you who don't know what that is - it's a photography technique that allows you to create a very shallow depth of field, past that which your lens will typically allow. It's done through stitching multiple photos together through Photoshop. So while the second photo looks like it is shot at the same focal length (50mm) as the first one, the lens is actually much longer (at 180mm). Both photos were shot from the same position. The first one was shot with a Canon 50mm @ f/1.4 while the second was with the Canon 70-200mm @ f/2.8 - in approximately 24 frames. This results in an effective aperture of f/0.7 .
For comparison - 50mm at f/1.4
Brenizer Method - 180mm at f/2.8
Family Time
Spent some time over the holiday weekend with Jon's family. Spring in Canada is beautiful! So glad to be able to shed the winter jackets and feel the warmth on our faces.
