Yeah–really cool technique.

Another question: How do you handle the slight changes from frame to frame of your subject? Is that all fixed in post?

Thanks a lot.

Robert: Like doing any panorama without a specialized panorama head, it’s important to have some sort of stitching software that can normalize for perspective. For me, it’s CS3 (and soon to be CS4).

Ryan,

I get the panorama stitching technique – high res, shallow depth of field, wide field… it all makes sense… except:

The focal plane of each frame is on a different plane. The differing perspectives should make stitching problematic,resulting in optical artifacts, esp for far field objects…?

Can you fill in the blanks here?

Thanks a bunch – love “your stuff”!!!

Oh! Unless it had to do with you being too close to them to be able to get a full body shot like that?!

Maybe?

This is gorgeous, but I really am confused as to why you went with 24 frames. I’d love to hear from you on that.

I’m going out with some friends to do a “couple’s session” (they’re not engaged yet, they just want some pics), and I think I might try this.

Thanks for the inspiration!
