Tonight I dropped by the City Hall here in San Francisco. It's such a wonderful building that's just radiating history and culture from every stone. I also had my mind set on trying out a new technique that is often called the Brenizer method, where you end up taking dozens, or in this case even a 128 photos and stitching them together to take photos that are physically impossible with a regular camera and lens. Now this is a little photographic geeking out so feel free to ignore this: But by taking lots of photos at a very shallow depth of field and stitching those together, you can get a field of view of a much wider lens, but with a depth of field that's pretty much physically impossible. For instance for this shot, that combines a 100 images shot with my 85mm f/1.2, you would need a 24mm lens with a 0.4 aperture, which of course unfortunately doesn't exist. So with this successful practice run done, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of creative effects I can create with it.
