Leonard

    This is my first attempt at the "Brenizer Method". This is 14 separate shots merged together in Adobe Photoshop CS2 to create a greater depth of field. This is going to be used for Leonard's DJ Spotlight in the next issue of Backbeat Magazine. Make sure you pick it up!

      i remember when Leo was just a young pup...we used to throw parties at his friend's house and the walls would be lined with black plastic. that dude is one of the best guys there is out there, not just as a dj, but as a friend too :)

      Leo is dope. One of the few DJ's in San Anto that spins that House Music.

      Ya done good, bro! I always get carried away when I do the Brenizer shots. I did a 92 shot merge before. It was not awesome. Still can't get a high success rate on anything over 25 shots.

      @scorpiistar - It's 14 separate shots, meaning 14 pieces of one final image. Think panoramas. Check out this link.

      so he must have been SUUUUUPER still???? Or is it mostly the bg merged and stitched? Ill have to look up this method. Anyway, fantastic LIGHT! WOW! Love the pretty bokeh, and I totally recognize the bg! :D

    17. loco ejj (26 months ago | reply)

      bokeh is legit!

    18. HoltZ PhotoZ (26 months ago | reply)

      Interesting... sounds complicated.

    19. Bojan Janjic (26 months ago | reply)

      Great portrait! I love the bokeh!

      Let this be your last attempt. This method is on the same level as overdone HDR.

    21. JJ.Hawk (26 months ago | reply)

      Let this be the first of many.....this isn't an attempt....( some people have it SO wrong)....this is a success.....

    22. stevenXonward (26 months ago | reply)

      @I Am Luna - Don't be a dick, bro.

    23. Arthur M (25 months ago | reply)

      Fab result. Not much to do with HDR actually, thank God !
