History, method and usage
Ryan Brenizer initially referred to the technique as a bokeh panorama. It uses
Shallow depth of field panoramic stitching photographs are sometimes referred to as the Brenizer method, as he popularized it in recent years through his work. An image produced by this method is sometimes referred to as a bokeh panorama photography.
The process requires taking multiple shots of a scene in a manner that allows for later image stitching using a fast lens, generally of a focal length of 50 mm or longer.[5] It is also beneficial to use manual focus, manual white balance and manual shutter and aperture controls to maintain a uniform exposure across the entire set of images.
This method is of interest because:
- It allows for the cheap and relatively easy creation of aesthetics usually only available through the use of expensive, complicated and bulky equipment.
- It provides a way of imitating a traditional film-based process with digital equipment.
- It creates very high-resolution images.
The method is used for portrait photography and, increasingly, automobile photography.[citation needed]
