Want to show a shot from yesterdays
experimenting with wide open panoramas.
town of Zell am See - harbour
the tourist-ship in the background just arriving
- 30 shots
- SMC K 50/1.4
- wide open use @1.4
- handheld
I still don't feel comfortably in shooting these type of panos, ... they're
somehow unpredictable in the outcome.
Whilst with "normal" (small apperture) panorama I mostly know how the final
result will render, I am very unsure with these wide open ones.
the heavy OOF makes it very unpredictable and so composing the
scene while shooting is a kind of roulette.
But that's also the kind of excitement that comes along with it, and makes it
though kind of addictive.
This shot has a rather impressionistic outcome due to it's large and heavy OOF area:
just interested what you think about it ...
here a large one to check the detail:
Thanks for C&C

I don't like most panoramas, mainly because where I have seen them posted I have to scroll horizontally as they roll off my screen. I have been very impressed with your panos though, tobbsman. When you started posting "bokeh panoramas", I thought "What's the point of a great big wide picture if 95% of it is out of focus?", but I quite like this one, maybe because there is enough detail in the uncomplicated background to get a sense of location. One benefit of this image is the subject, being the only part focussed, looks really sharp and the 3D is more pronounced.
Interesting and thought provoking. |

Just today, I was giving some thought to doing this also, and some of your panos came to mind (was trying to remember the lens/focal length that you use). I think that this can be really quite a complex puzzle. I was thinking that I would try to change the in-focus area, slightly, through either stopping down (and hope the reciprocity of shutter speed matches), or changing the throw of the focus. It's a challenge!!! I like this first attempt of yours, for sure. _________________ Cameras; Sony Nex5n Lenses; Konica Hexanons; 21mm f2.8, 40mm f1,8, 50mm f1.4, 50mmf1.7,57mm f1.4, 100mm f2.8, 135mm f3.2, 200mm f4, MC Helios 77M-4 50mm f1.8, Jupiter 8 50 f2, Super Takumar 85mm f1.9, Vivitar Series 1 90mm f2.5 (Macro), Steinheil Munchen Culminar 85mm f2.8, Steinheil Munchen Exagon 35mm f2.8, Jupiter 37A 135mm, Astra Berlin 135mm f3.5, Angenieux 180mm f4 , Tair 3-PhS 300mm f4.5 |

I've tried this sort of thing, though I thought of it as 'recreating a mf/lf photo using aps-c' rather than as a panorama. And my results are nowhere as good as yours. _________________ -Jussi

Haven't expected so many positive comments, because I am myself
not sure about most of the sense of this "technique".
exactly same thoughts as skida come to my mind when I am editing these panoramas:

Using this technique for panorama format
purposes has only sense when the background still shows
something interesting. With to blurry backgrounds one may think of
a "normal" ultra-wide-open shot, instead of a panoramic photograph.
With panorama photography one expects a lot and different image information.
A blurred background in a panorama and focus to one small subject doesn't fulfill this
expectation ...
I just think now that using this technique for panorama purposes enlarges
the possibilities in this genre but has to be executed in a way that
it still fulfills the definition of a panorama photograph.
(sorry, very difficult to describe my thoughts in English)
