Brenizer method
I had never even heard of the Brenizer method of taking shots before, and it is kind of complex. It seeks to give a wide-angle feeling to a shot while keeping some background blur that you can't get with a wide angle lens. To do this you have to take multiple shots and stitch them together, using a somewhat longer lens to get the blur, as wide open as you can. This is nine shots stitched together in AutoStitch. I worked on this all morning because I wasn't getting seamless stitching at first. f5.6 (as wide as this lens would go at that length), 116mm, 1/200 shutter speed, ISO 400, White balance set at 6100K (auto balance changes a bit as you move the camera so you have to set it manually
), manual focus (important to keep the same focus throughout the shot). Other than crop the edges of the shot where the stitching shows, I did no editing.
