Thanks man but these are really good. I showed my wife this morning. Hey, I've tried to stitch 9 photos together for a fantasy shot. I did it handheld and it didn't work out that well. Did you use a tripod? Another time, using a tripod, I merged foreground and background where I only had to move my focus point around in camera with a shallow DOF. That came out ok but these look like you were using a tilt shift lens. Your results are wonderful, you've been holding back on me. : )
Thanks so much @runrudy! I'm glad you like them, I actually do these handheld, I just try to not move my feet and only pivot the camera. I've often considered trying this type of shot with a tripod but I don't ever take one for weddings, just too much to carry. Tilt shifts are fun but I actually dont even own one, these were shot with an 85mm f1.4 wide open, when you do these types of stiches I guess the exaggerated dof kindof looks like tilt shift. Anyhow glad you like them man!
Thanks for the follow up explanation. I like tilt shift lenses but also don't have one either. It's just I have never seen that look in a wedding photo/landscape. Makes my focus draw right into the subject. Really creative look. See ya.
