How to Shoot Panoramas for Extreme Depth of Field

How to shoot a panorama quickly and easily” is a video tutorial by pro photographer Ryan Brenizer on using panoramas to achieve an extremely thin depth of field. To accomplish this, one sets their camera’s settings manually and uses a telephoto lens to shoot a frame in sections, then stitches all the shots together with software. That last part may sound difficult, but in reality the most difficult part is waiting for your computer to finish processing the panorama — Adobe Photoshop is great at doing this automatically.

Below is a sample photo made with Ryan’s technique. It is a composite of 21 images shot with my Canon 135mm f/2 lens.
