Innocence - Cinema Project 007 by David Yeoman, on Flickr
David, explain this project. I can obviously see the widescreen bit, but the photos seem to have something beyond just that in terms of sharpness, clarity and focal depth. Perhaps it is just the widescreen and the framing?
It started as an attempt to process images in a cinematic style, using adjustments to alter the colour grading of the image (which usually desaturates part of the spectrum and makes other parts pop out), the biggest challenge though isn't the post processing styles (though there is a lot more experimentation (and learning) to be done), but its seeing the world in 2.35:1, images taken with other aspect ratios in mind do not readily translate into the 2.35:1 aspect ratio. I need to do a lot more work on the actual image acquisition side.
I think that part of the focal depth comes from the fact that the image is cropped, and that OOF areas end up being to the sides, rather than all round the image.
It's certainly a challenge.
Really interesting. It certainly works. I assume you have to treat each image differently.

How do you like the 35/2 Lefty?
It's even capable of producing pleasing bokeh (when shot relatively close to the subject and with a background at a sufficient distance with specular highlights)
