The Brenizer Method of Panoramic Portrait Photography

The following picture is my experimental attempt at the Brenizer Method of Panoramic Portrait.  Basically, through stitching together a series of images together you can create the illusion of using a medium or large format camera with their oftentimes unparalleled DoF.  The process itself isn't all that difficult; focus on the subject matter using a wide-open aperture and then shoot a series of images capturing the subject and the area around it, making sure to overlap about 25-30%.  Then in Photoshop or another program, stitch the images together.  The really great thing is that you can shoot relatively low quality images and, provided you shot enough images, the final image will be of greater resolution.  Here's my attempt, keep in mind my focus was kinda off due to some lens fog issues and user error, but the concept works.

PS:  This photograph consisted of about 80 individual images shot with a Nifty Fifty f/1.8 Canon lens.
