first attempt at the 'Brenizer' method

[tommyboy]

I think you did good. I saw his Adorama episode when it came out last week and he did shot it within just a few seconds, it's the post work what would take longer and also he didn't demonstrate on the video.

I guess there's no other way of simulating a medium format digital image cheaper than this. The next step, Pentax 645D which is what, 9-10K body only?!

My nieve question is why cant this be done with a wide lens using a blur layer or mask in photoshop to achieve same effect?

Because it won't look real.
