Brenizer method attempt 2
This is another (failed) attempt at the Brenizer method, using 8 shots. I shot this with my 18-55mm Nikkor zoom lens at 28mm and f/4.5. I got the shallow dof and the bokeh background that I wanted, but the PSE11 photomerge produced scrambled images. I had to crop the bottom off because the bottom of the vase was scrambled, and if you look, you’ll see that the tree trunk behind the flowers is chopped up. :-) I might have been able to get a better result if I arranged the photos myself but I don’t know how to do that yet, and didn’t have time to learn. This definitely was a learning experience for me so thanks, Ron, for the challenge! It’s motivated me to finally buy that 50mm lens I’ve been procrastinating on. That, and I need to add more memory to my computer because it didn’t really like doing photomerge. Then I will definitely try this again!
