About The Brenizer Method

Exploring the possibilities of a photo manipulation technique, often called "Bokeh panorama" and made popular by New York photographer Ryan Brenizer. He has written a tutorial here. A newer one on Photojojo is here.

If you're familiar with taking free-handed panoramas, then simply apply the techniques you already know with the use of a fast tele lens such as an 85 f/1.8. Stitching is done in your run of the mill Photoshop CS4, Microsoft ICE, Autostitch, or Hugin. There is a forum on here about the different programs you can use and what people have found to work nicely.

Rules
1. Read the rules and follow them.
2. Only Brenizer Method (bokeh) panoramas.
3. If you can, please put the number of shots into the description.

All submissions must be approved by a moderator. The moderators reserve the right to deny any image acceptance into the pool should it not apply to the rules, appear to not have an emphasis on limited depth of field, or be strongly lacking in quality (out of focus issues, etc). This means if it looks like a panorama with a large depth of field, it will be denied even if it follows all the rules above. We're not snobs, we just want to make sure that this is a pool of great examples of the technique to view and learn from.
