An experiment with a Brenizer method panorama of a path in a forest in

Bratislava (Pecniansky les). The original panorama is about 660 MPx.

The good  things about  macro, micro lenses, they are  very good  with  the  smallest aperture. Like  f/22   f/16.  If  you used  those  small aperture, you would  get a sharp  image  from  your feet  to  infinity.  You focused  this  image  to  the right distance  at  1/3  of  the  image, but  probably with open lens. IMHO. I like the composition and the subject, except  the limited  depth of  field.

Hi Bela, thank you. This was more or less a technical experiment with shallow-depth-of-field Brenizer method panoramas, it is stitched from about 200 shots, indeed with the aperture fully open. I know that it apparently lacks a subject in the focus area that would justify this kind of technique. The flowers serve this purpose only partially. You can view the full pano here: http://gigapan.com/gigapans/193079.

Best regards.

I haw seen the  full pano, impressive, and  have  no idea  of  the technic you mentioning, still, I  would like the foreground in focus. IMHO.

Why do you needed 200  frame for this....?

OK. I seen the photograph of  this Benizer  effect, which has  some  interesting look, specially for  weeding  photography, but, IMHO  it  is  a NO   for  me,  for  landscape  images. IMHO  again.

Bela

You are right, Bela, it is not suitable for most landscape shots.  But still, I have seen a few shots, where it works, for example here and this one from Carsten Ranke. The idea of using so many shots is to obtain a panorama with very small depth of field, with a wide angle coverage. This is not possible with available lenses. Best regards. Peter

Hi Peter.  I doing this all the time, photographing a wide angle  view  with a 50mm lens, ( or  what ever, depend on... )   imitating a 18mm  sometime  even a 12mm lens of  wive  effect. Or,  sometime  to  get a high quality  negative,  also a multiple  pano shots  and  I get image-size  in pixels  like I shot  with a 50 MP sensor or  sometime even bigger  pixel  density  negative  to work with it.  And of-cause  get a razor-sharp image  even with a not  to sharp  lens. I  can see purpose  for this  technic, when  you like to highlight  something else, like a couple  in  the  picture  or  such. When I do pano shots,  of  several row  of multiple  image,  I my  go  so far  as 30-40 frames, even in   the most extreme case,  but  I never  needed  to get  of  the subject 200 frames.  In this way, the stitching program in the computer  using a very small fraction of  the  individual images, unnecessarily. A Big IMHO again.

Greetings.

Thank you, Bela. (Not boasting) - my record so far is about 700 frames for a very wide view, I did it in a project to try to show the landscape in four different seasons at the same time, taken from the same spot and then blended the results in this pano published at my gigapan account. There, everything is sharp. Best viewed in the full screen mode. Best wishes. Peter
