Hi everyone,

I've been out of the game a little while since the birth of my daughter. Getting back into it now, and went for a stroll around the grounds of Kedleston Hall.

I didn't really think I'd be taking many photos, but the mist gave quite interesting conditions even in the middle of the afternoon. I only had my D610 with 85mm 1.8 (and no tripod), so I ended up taking this one as a panorama of 15 photographs at f/1.8 using what I know as the Brenizer Method. It means only the gate is in focus. It was quite nice having to make do with the limits of having just the one lens, and probably more enjoyable than lugging around a pack full of gear on this occasion.

 
That's a lovely shot and different from anything else I've seen. I'll have to look up the Brenizer Method as it's not something I've come across before...
 
Lovely shot....and a place I know well!
 
Thanks for all the positive comments. I've been out a few times recently and the conditions have been challenging, but the unusual mist on Sunday made it much easier!

Simon, the Brenizer Method was developed by Ryan Brenizer to make images with a very shallow depth of field and increases the effective size of the sensor. His website about it is here: http://brenizermethod.vhx.tv/ and the wikipedia page is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brenizer_Method.

I love the image, the colours and focus - well executed but just a quick point - Mr.Brenzier didn't develop it - its a stitched fixed-focus pano image, something thats been around a long time. :) I think Ryan even mentions it in one of his youtube video's that he didnt "invent" it, it just caught on with his name.

Thanks!

Interesting use of language from Ryan then. On the site I linked to he says he developed it. Maybe he means it in the context of developing the existing technique. In any event, it's a technique I quite enjoy from time to time.
 
:)Cracking piece of work and it's a great discipline to go out with just one lens especially a fixed prime.
Job well done :)
 
"Cracking" shot Richard, almost has a kinda' 3D effect.(y)

me too, dont get me wrong - i think its great but he definitely didnt invent it. I'll source some material on it if I can get the time (y)
 
Thank you for all the kind comments. I'll hopefully be posting more in the near future. Finding time to process photos and post is quite challenging with a 6 month old!
