If you're already taking so many photos to begin with, why not just crop it afterwards instead of photoshopping to fill corners? Take some more pictures and then crop to your desired ratio, it's far easier and faster that way
Amazing! Your tutorial is just so much more in depth and easy to follow. Thanks for this!
Awesome video! And if you want to maximize DOF with the same focal length then I would suggest getting closer to subject and filling the first frame with a vertical shot.
Great tip! I'll try that next time I'm doing a brenizer!
Thank you for showing the details on how its done in post. Truly appreciate teaching us how it's done. Looking forward for more. ❤👍
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! This was perfect explanation. I love how you got into details of not just what you press/do, but also WHY you are doing this. This is how teaching should be done. Explaining the process. That was perfect. Thank you very much! Please continue your great work. It helps people 🌷
Very helpful and easy to follow tutorial David thanks for that!
Excellent tutorial. Most tutorials tend to forget about WB and that's very important.
Thank you very much for your time and effort.
Thanks, great tutorial!
Thank you for the great tutorial!
Best technique video I’ve seen on this subject! Thanks!
Thanks! How did your Brenizer method work out?
Best video on Brenz! Cheers, very helpful!
Really nice tutorial and Very helpful ..One Love
I've been trying to master this method and this video has a tiny detail that I haven't seen anywhere else but is really helpful: WB in manual
If you shoot RAW, white balance doesn't matter. If you shoot in JPEG, then yes, you have to nail your white balance in camera.
Indeed! Just an extra step in post
Big fan of your work. I wish I will meet you one day. Thanks for everything.
Cheers dude!! Absolutely, perhaps our paths will cross 😊
super! I have really learnt today. Thanks for sharing
Glad you found it useful!
Excellent!
*CORRECTION: My claim that Ryan Brenizer didn't invent this technique and just appropriated it was incorrect. My research at the time had told me that he had done that, but having heard from Ryan himself on the backstory of how this technique came to be known as "The Brenizer Method", I'd like to apologize to him for the misinformation in this video. My research had shown me forums on photography sites which challenged the claim that he had invented it, but as Ryan himself states below, they were challenging the wrong idea. He didn't and doesn't claim to have invented the panorama. But the particular process of shooting a panorama with a shallow depth of field to achieve that very particular look, that's all his. Sorry Ryan!*
From Ryan: "I certainly did do all the work of devising the concept and streamlining the execution for myself, without any guidance from others - and then checked as thoroughly as I could for “prior art,” asking as many people as I could if they had ever seen something like it before. And my first paragraph of my first tutorial mentions that probably some of the millions of photographers out there have stumbled upon this before, but it certainly wasn’t a “thing” that people knew about. Joel Grimes also went through the same thing, discovering it for himself based on first principles; he just did it later than I did and is gracious about it because he’s an awesome dude. Anyway, it’s largely a popular misconception precisely because I rarely bother to do things like this, even to the point of not bothering to correct it on the Wikipedia entry for like five years. The central and sort of hilarious error in that story is basically that they believe I claimed to invent the panorama. For the record, I did not invent the panorama. Also, what I called this was “bokeh panorama.” “Brenizer method” stuck from a Flickr group about it I didn’t even start."
Thanks for the training
You're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful
Great tutorial..!!
Sure gonna try this
Awesome, I will do that, not sure if my computer is up for the task, though. BTW, you deserve way more subs! :)
Cheers, let me know how it goes!
Awesome !
Why would you adjust clarity in LR, versus photoshop, OR use brush to clarify only areas on subject? The trick is to have fall-off to the nice depth of field, which to be honest would be better sharpened/clarified, after stitching? Lens correction seems like a better option to sychronize. Hmmm..seems like having clarity synchronized into all of the frames defeats the primary purpose. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.
I did exactly what you said from 15:09 :P
Thanks and kudos!!
Never knew that trick with free transform or Lr pano, so two tricks I learned from this video. Thanks for that.
I've been doing some Brenizer of my car with mixed results how much do you overlap each image??
cheers
I try and have about a quarter to a third overlap. That way the autostitch really has all the info it needs. Just try and remain around 50mm to 100mm focal length and imagine the camera is on a tripod so don't move it sideways or up and down. Rotate it from the same spot. Let me know how it goes, I'd love to see!
Really nice tutorial . Could you also tell in what order to take the pics counter clock wise ?
There's no order really. I like to start with the subject so that they can relax a bit and don't have to stay posing for super long. Just make sure you're getting a little bit of overlap on every shot so that the software knows how to stitch the whole lot together.
Im intrested in trying to use a fill light on the subject/first shot. Then having the background correctly exposed or maybe slightly under exposed in the rest of shots. Do you think that would work. In my head I think the added separation of subject and surrounding would look amazing
Yeah it would work great but you'd need to be able to keep the light out of the full range otherwise of you move it, the falloff difference will be noticeable
omg omg omg omg omg omg i shouldve known this before my summer trip haha, its awesome. all i need now is lightroom -.- will see if my sony dsc hx 50 is able to do that too or not
I recommend to name sliced bread after this boastful guy! Brenzier Bread Method! :D
🤣
i don't have the choice to photo merge in the lightroom,,, is my lightroom outdated?
Any adjustment before photo merge or HDR in Lightroom, all adjustments will return to zero, so, only adjust after the merge or HDR.
I'm quite confused about focusing. Should I re-focus for every shot or..? How am I supposed to do please?
Hey Massimo, no you focus only once and then switch to manual focus so it's doesn't shift. It needs to stay all exactly the same focus distance to work. :-)
DOD Media Oh, ok. Thanks a lot buddy :)
@@dodmedia So i suppose back focus wouldn't work for this?
Sure, focus once then don't refocus
Should I be using manual focus?
You can use auto focus to nail that first shot, but then make sure to switch it to manual without changing to focus distance so it remains constant throughout the rest of the photos
Thanks for sharing. But I wonder how to take a bunch of pictures with the same DOF? I dont get it, please teach me how to do?
micoja tina you need to set your focus, and then turn off autofocus so the focal distance won't change. Then make sure you're using a fast lens for shallow DOF.
not just a fast lens, but using a low aperture value (like toward as open as the lens can go and still give good quality...)
Out of curiosity. I just found out you can also "Focusstack" in Lightroom.
Now usually you would do that on say a Macro where you want the entire Object in Focus but your Lense/Apperture can´t handle that and you take like 15 Pictures and use only the sharp parts.
I did some Brenziers before and what sometimes bother sme (also in your Pic) is that the result is nice, but the main object gets too small and kind of overwhelmed by too much background.
So i´d like to know if you could take a picture like the the one you started with (the central one) and create blurry parts by manually fosussing to far behind or too much in front of her and now stack
the BLURRY parts instead of the sharp ones with the aim to reduce the depth of field by that?
interesting thought. Im thinking you can do that by layering the 2 images in photoshop and getting the parts you want from each image
@@Neukita1 Thank you for your reply. Yes, that might be possible. Only PS is not my kind of tool...i need it so rarely that each time is a real struggle...i use gimp if i need somethign like that done but 99% is pure Lightroom, that´s why i asked here :)
It's a cool idea! I think the execution might be a bit trickier depending on how you shoot your subject. If you can get them entirely within your depth of field then it could work yeah! As long as they're clear contrasted lines to cut out and around from within a layer. The difficulty would be if the back of their shoulders is slightly out of focus for example then it'll be harder to mask since it's not a hard cut contrast line. I've not used the focus stacking tool myself yet so I'll give it a try and see! 😊
@@dodmedia Wonderful :o) Thank you very much.
Correction to your video intro, Ryan Brenizer did NOT name this technique after himself. He gained attention for perfecting this style, and used it consistently in his work, people took note and coined it after him. Also, panoramic stitching is NOT the same thing as the Brenizer method.
i'm a little confused. in the beginning you said you preferred to use lightroom only but eventually you also used photoshop. does this mean you really cannot do this using only lightroom ?
So I prefer to use Lightroom to treat all the photos the same, since it's WAY easier than doing it through ACR. But then the stitching part I find much easier in Photoshop.
Thanks for sharing this great tutorial! You said that everting should be set into manual - aperture, iso, shutter speed, exposure and white balance. What about focus, should it be also in manual? Should I keep the same focus point? Thank you!
Yes definitely manual focus, otherwise the background blur won't be consistent. Set your focus on your subject and then switch to manual focus so it doesn't move.
@@dodmedia Thank you!
1st I really believe that if you state Brenizer didn't invented it you should prove what you're saying or simply stay silent and just tribute to him.
2nd Each time you stretched your panorama, the poor girl face, legs and pregnant belly were stretching as well even on my tiny display not at full screen so I doubt it is not perceivable.
3rd You probably used a 50mm because is the fasted lens you got, but at the same time is well known that you should use a longer one
4th said so I thank you because I didn't know you could stitch it in Lightroom
1st you could look it up yourself. It's widely known. This isn't a gossip channel, it's a channel for learning, but I did think it worth mentioning the origin of the name.
2nd surprising since it's only stretching the corners.
3rd wrong. It was an 85mm. As stated.
4th. You're welcome Alfonso.
DOD Media Hey sorry, Alfonso flagged me this. Internet comments, especially UA-cam, are hotbeds of rage, so let me just preface this by saying I have none. I’m sure you’re a very nice fellow and I hope you’re doing well at this crazy time. I also know that a) I did invent it and b) didn’t name it after myself as such because, well, I was there. “Inventing” is not a perfectly clear concept, as you can see from looking at the backstory of the invention of just about anything, but I certainly did do all the work of devising the concept and streamlining the execution for myself, without any guidance from others - and then checked as thoroughly as I could for “prior art,” asking as many people as I could if they had ever seen something like it before. And my first paragraph of my first tutorial mentions that probably some of the millions of photographers out there have stumbled upon this before, but it certainly wasn’t a “thing” that people knew about. Joel Grimes also went through the same thing, discovering it for himself based on first principles; he just did it later than I did and is gracious about it because he’s an awesome dude. Anyway, it’s largely a popular misconception precisely because I rarely bother to do things like this, even to the point of not bothering to correct it on the Wikipedia entry for like five years. The central and sort of hilarious error in that story is basically that they believe I claimed to invent the *panorama.* For the record, I did not invent the panorama. Also, what I called this was “bokeh panorama.” “Brenizer method” stuck from a Flickr group about it I didn’t even start. Anyway I’m sure you’re a nice dude and wish you well, but definitely in tone at least you veered way off the truth of the matter. Have a good one!
Ryan, thanks for the thorough and polite explanation. I'm sorry you have to get involved in this sort of thing at all, and I'm sorry I didn't do my research thoroughly enough before making a claim in the video. When researching the method two and a half years ago when I made this video, all I seemed to come across was that you'd claimed to invent the panorama, which would be crazy, and as you've stated yourself, not true. But I can appreciate the nuance between panorama stitch and the technique required for this specific technique, and the hours of work you put into perfecting that technique, and then sharing it with the world. I've placed a card in the video that pops up as a correction, and I'll pin a comment on the video stating that correction as well. I really appreciate your honesty and humility in how you responded, and I hope you accept my sincere apologies.
