The brenizer method tutorial | How to Bokehrama | Bokeh Panorama

- Today I show you how to photograph using the Brenizer Method…aka the Bokehrama…aka the Bokeh Panorama, a bit like the team did in Linus Tech Tips recently when they built a 500Mb image!!
If you’ve ever seen images with a shallow depth of focus but really wide angle…this is the tutorial for you.
I use the Sony A7iii and an 85mm f1.8, lightroom and photoshop but as long as your editing software can stitch images together, it shouldn’t matter what editing software you use.

Reminds me of photos taken with a large format (bellows) camera.
Your 85 mm 1.8 lens has an aperture of 47 mm. The field of view of a wide angle 24 mm lens (on full frame, that is) is approximately twice that of a standard 50 mm.
So, for an 8x10" camera the standard focal length is 300 mm. If we use a 150 mm, we get the wide angle shot, comparable to a 24 mm on full frame (24x36mm sensor). At f/2.8 the aperture will be 53 mm and give ca. the same depth of field as the 85/1.8
The result will be the same as a bokehrama on full frame taken with an 85/1.8, only... Using such a camera and finding a decent 150/2.8 for this large image circle...
Hey, this was really terrific - thorough, but concise. Thank you! I recently started having fun with panoramas, and this seems like a great variant for some applications where you need that blurred background. Great job, Mike!
Thanks so much! It is an interesting technique to learn. I try and get one of these every time I go on a shoot...sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but it is a fun one to do!
Panoramas are great aren't they!! 😁👍
Your tutorials are so crisp. Thanks for this. There's a canyon I've been wanting to try this in.
Thanks so much Ryan! 😁👍
Great tutorial, Mike. You really are a phenomenal instructor. It is so easy to follow along and understand what you are doing. I used this technique while shooting a bridge in Ronda, Spain last year. Everything was too far away as I did not have a good foreground subject, therefore what I ended up with was a 400+ MP photo that was just too big to deal with. If the town of Ronda ever wants a billboard size average photo of the Puente Nuevo bridge, I am their man. I will try this again using a closer subject.
Haha!! It is a tricky technique isn't it...I have a few that fail every now and then...I really like using it when there's a single point perspective and a subject closer to the camera...you can get some really nice ones in that scenario. 👍
Thanks so much dude, I really do enjoy breaking down these subjects and I get to learn each thing in so much more detail when doing them as well so it's a win win for all of us!! 😁👍
Wow, this is so cool! :) I'll try it. Thank you Mike! :)
Thanks so much Viktor! It is definitely a fun one to try. 😁👍
Super interesting, Mike and now I know how to pronounce "Brenizer!"
Haha!! I had to do some research to make sure I was saying it right! 😁👍
Great video! I have tried this technique about ten times now. What I learned when I tried is that this technique isn't for me but I did get some great panos from them. I already had a line of images, stitched them together, and pano done. Not what I planned on doing but loved it none the less. With your advice I might try again soon though.
It does take a fair bit of persistence. I still have some that I take that don't work...
Good to hear about your experiences Lance. 😁👍
Thanks for this; I like the idea. For some circumstances (eg. straight lines close to the camera) it will probably help to use a special tripod head like the Nodal Ninja to avoid parallex errors in the stitching. I am looking forward to trying this. Thanks for all of your videos; very informative and enjoyable!
Thanks so much Richard, and that's a great tip. I have a nodal pan head and I have a video planned on using it coming soon. They are definitely fantastic for getting seamless panoramas.
Thanks for watching and let me know how you get on. 😁👍
Thanks!!
And thank you for watching. 😁👍
0:22 I'm sorry to hear about this condition of yours.
wide angle shots, must be painful.
Haha! Well I've had therapy and I'm slowly coming to terms with it...😆
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks David!! 😁👍
Mike Smith Thanks for not only inspiring us, but also teaching us, Mike☺️
What’s interesting about this isn’t the bokeh, but the compression.
I find that this method works well for portraits to get that 6x7 look of the pentax and the mamiyas. It doesn't work that well with shorter telephoto lenses for landscapes. I think 100-135 or even a 200mm lens is the sweet spot to give sufficient blur.
Most definitely. This would be a fantastic technique for the 135mm or longer. 😁👍
Any free application to process (stitch) the images? Thanks!
Does that mean if you are shooting a normal landscape photo with out a subject like a person or car, you will prefer using a wide angel lens more than this technique?
Thx for the video,great work!
Thanks very much!
It all depends on what I want to achieve in the final image. If I have a subject that is relatively close, this is a fun technique to make that subject stand out, this could be a person, car, tree, or anything really with a bit of space between them and the background ... but if I am shooting a big landscape and I want it all in focus, there's no need to do this.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Hey Mike, first time i heard of this technique, very interesting. I'm shooting with Sony a6400. 2 questions, can this technique be done with only a kit lens (16-50mm)? And what is the difference between this technique vs usual single shot with a super wide angle lens?
No worries, and yes you can use your kit lens. Just use at at the 50mm end to get a slightly shallower depth of focus.
The difference is the plane of focus. At such big apertures and longer focal lengths, the plane of focus is much shallower so you get a lot more separation between the subject and the background. It is subtle but when done properly, can really make your photos stand out. 👍
@@mikesphotography i get it now. Very cool technique. Thanks for taking the time to explain. Appreciate it. 👍
hey Mike, can I use a 24-70 at 24 then switch to my 50 1.4?
Yes definitely!
The 50mm prime would give some great results with this technique. 😁👍
Hey Mike, sorry to hear about your Foo Fighter drummer passing on. Hope your good.
Hey James,
Pretty shocking news ... I'm gutted as a fan but it must be so hard for the band and family right now ... he was a talented musician and will be missed by so many.
Thanks for the message James 👍
Have you ever used the "protect highlights" metering mode instead of zebras?
I have but I prefer zebras and manual mode for landscape photography. The protect highlights metering mode is great when in Aperture priority or shutter priority modes as it really does do just that.
Thanks for watching Jim. 👍
If I try it for the first time, do you suggest using the tripod?
It would definitely help in using the tripod. I sometimes do that when the exposure times are longer than usual.
Thanks for watching. 😁👍
@@mikesphotography Thanks Mike....from very far (Malta -Europe)
WOW, my last name is brenizer
Haha! Excellent!! Maybe you're related!? 🤔
@@mikesphotography I wonder if I am😂
