Well, you all know about the Brenizer method (else, Google is your friend!).
What I thought about while spending some time marooned in my bed after a surgical operation is the following: taking so much shots is a major pain, so why not fully using all those bells and whistles of my new K5, namely, the vidéo mode????? 30fps sure rocks for this!
So I shot a 26s clip handheld (still from my bed, so nothing great!), extracted 1fps from it and stitched the result...
So, here is what my FA50/1.4 sees from my pillow:
And the result:
Took me about 2 minutes from recording to final image... You can see some stitching errors, but for a quick test lying in bed under pain killers, it's not bad I think!
I used
ImageMagick for extracting:
ffmpeg -i MyMovie.AVI -y -an -r 1 -sameq test%03d.jpg
And
Hugin to stitch the 26 Testxxx.jpg frames... In the end I even removed half the frames as they were overlapping too much...
The end image is 2893x3510...
From my calculation, I ended with a shot taken with either:
- a 645D with a 50/1.4...
- or an APS-C 21mm f/0.5 (!!!)
