Quick attempt at Brenizer

Gnatty · 16th July 2012, 7:49 PM

I decided to have a go with the Brenizer method

12 shots (with plenty of overlap) shot with an 85mm/1.4 at f/2.0.

The subject may not be to everyone's taste, but i'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Comments/critique?

Looks great, only thing IMO is that the pax wing mirror might look better if it was in focus...

Its mainly little things that niggle with me, like not being 100% inline with the car, you are about 5deg off, which just plays havoc with the symmetry.

The other thing is that i think the brenizer method works best with an object that has a fairly defined "short" plane in space, like a person or similar object. The problem with a car is that it is much deeper, and and so the brenizer falloff doesn't do it as much justice. Especially as the bonnet already falls away. Perhaps something like a Combi which is flat fronted would work better.

Those things aside it still looks good, although maybe next time something in the foreground would be good too.
