Here I am, pushing the envelope with my “bokeh panorama” technique. Stitched24 shots with the Nikon D700 and 85mm f/1.4 … taken in New York City traffic!

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!

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?

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”!!!

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).

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.
