Yesterday I made an interesting experiment, look at the results and guess what my intention was and what I did? 
The only thing I will tell you is that I used my Pentax K10d (APSC) and a Leitz Summicron 90 @F2.
Have a nice day!
Timo

Mixed lighting? Looks like incandescent on your (camera) left side, to warm skin tones?

Okay, but I did not mean colors tones or lighting issues, this time I simply did not care about this. It was something else I have tried.
Let`s have a look on a crop:

Maybe I am wrong, but it looks kind of wide to me for 90mm on crop.
Did you take several pictures and stitched them together? Panorama-like?
That would explain the wide fov and one could also achieve pretty shallow dof. |

Thats it.
My intention was to get a kind of "medium format look-a-like",
so i tried to make a pano from a very near subject.
It was surprisingly easy to stitch the 16 images because I did not have any problems with non matching perspectives as I had expected.
The only tool I used was a simple tripod no pano head.

I've been planning to do this for quite a while now, but have been too lazy to actually do it.
Came out pretty well.
How much time between the first and the last picture? I imagine it might be hard for the model to not move a bit. She probably shouldn't even breathe.  |

I needed only one minute to take the sixteen pictures. Yes she was not allowed to move but after I had taken the first three rows I allowed her to move her eyes and her head again. At all I imagined it to be a bigger problem.

nice! I was just doing that today on a shoot, managed to get very nice look with crop senzor. Photoshop photomerge method is very good these days.
Second thing you could do is to make compositing of few images with different focus points...you could make an entire image out of focus and than make a mask for let say legs and background. You could use slow 35mm for that, but compositing masks would show some errors on edges

The quick & dirty way:
A fast wide lens and a closeup adapter.
For instance, Vivitar 24/2 and +1 dioptre meniscus.

Yeah, I guessed it immediately. It's the (in?)famous Branizer method, the Photoshop channel on Facebook posted a link to the concept and tutorial two days ago:
http://blog.buiphotography.com/2009/07/the-brenizer-method-explained-with-directions/
I have to say that you did it more moderately than the samples in the tutorial - which I appreciate, because in my mind the tutorial examples are on the "heavy" side.
I am of the school of thought that effects and tricks should be used but not perceived.

I think you got something wider than full frame image. But good experimet. Girlfried had to be very patient. I should also try it =)

Nice, must have been a full day work?
I like this stitching technique

I've started playing with this method some time ago.
This is shot with the 5D MKII with Tak SMC 50 1.4 wide open and about 40 shots.(damn sky was blown out and I missed it)
1951 Nash Canadian Statesman
...and this one more recently with 5D MKII and Canon 70-200 2.8 wide open and about 60 shots all merged in CS5.

I'd love to see it.
If it's really good we can call it the "riorico technique"!
I also eagerly await a 24 f/2, though it's an nFD. My kiron 28 is quite good.

I saw very good pictures taken by Bryan Peterson with a Nikkor 12-24mm + canon 500D close-up lens.
