Not the 135L that does that. It is the Brenizer method. I could use the 50mm, 70-200mm.. you name it.

How many shots did you use for this shot? I want to try this effect. Best lens I would have is my 70-210 f2.8. i have an engagement shoot coming up.

Thanks for showing this! Like Analog_Universe, I'm going to have to experiment with this. Now I wonder if the same method could be used for macro? Hmmm.

It can indeed, but you will need to calculate the appropriate center of rotation for your lens, to avoid parallax distortion. Just as if you were doing a pano...

I was just browsing the Brenizer flickr group though, there are a lot of cool applications.

For macro you probably want focus stacking.

That shot I did about maybe 6 frames.

Here are some more

Cool. I was a bit worried at first because the tutorial I read said the guy used like 40 photos and I really couldnt understand why it would take so many shots. Plus that would take a lot of time. 6 i can do no problem. Do these tend to be a big an attention grabber with your clients as they are with us here?
