1.2 Bokeh Panoramas :-)

Nice pictures! So this is effectively what medium/large format bokeh would look like, right?

Thank you! and yes in a sense it does, even shallower dof than with a full frame if you want. Just depends on how many shots you stitch, the lens you use and also how close you are to the subject

Not to be pedantic, but bokeh is not the same as shallow DOF. Bokeh is a Japanese term that refers to the quality of out of focus areas. For example "good" bokeh is generally regarded as OOF areas that have smooth transitions between light and dark areas, round out of focus highlights (as opposed to oblong, hexagonal, etc.) and smooth, not blotchy or coarse looking patches.

These are shallow DOF panoramics, not Bokeh Panoramics. In fact, the bokeh of the first image is pretty bad. The OOF highlights are distracting, and appear doubled and tripled, possibly a result of stitching so many images together, with the highlights subtly shifted between shots as a result of changing angle of view as the camera was rotated.

It's just a coined term for the Brenzier Method, I certainly didn't name it and you're right about the highlights and stitching BUT they were just for fun and experimenting and wanted to share. Sure there are flaws to pick at, but why? Just fun to share!

Seriously cool shots - you've inspired me to go and try some stuff like this

I think these are great! Really enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing them with us I'd love to see more!

Nice work, thanks!

Thanks guys, I sold the lens a bit ago and actually think it is up for sale again by the user that purchased it from me. Look for the Canon 55mm f 1.2 in the classifieds, good lens!

Yep, that's certainly true.
