Wow, that's beautiful! Really crisp detail on the foreground tree bark, and the out of focus background almost looks like film grain to me. Would you share a bit more technical detail? What lens, ISO? Did you darken the upper corners in PP to emphasize the gorgeous light on the fallen leaves, or is that the natural scene, or the lens vignetting on the M9?

Thank you DNG and Kermaier for feedback !

The lens was an Apo Summicron 90 Asph., @ ISO 160. Dont believe ? Well, I wanted a bokeh panorama here and made 36 single exposures as DNG. Stitched as a mosaic, this makes for a whopping 130 MP wide-angle aspect photo with lots of detail as you can imagine. Calculated in 35 mm terms, this is a 30 mm f: 0.7 lens bokeh. Actually, it is a 90 mm lens f:2.0 on a virtual 7 x 11 cm sensor, larger than a MF system that costs $$$. Anyway, my aim was the bokeh. With lots of detail available, I could easily pull back the local contrast in Silver Efex without quality loss, and pushed the overall contrast and added a vignette (setting called "Holga" in Silver Efex). This sw is really good, the grain looks quite realistic.

Bokeh panoramas are really nice sometimes. Already 3x3 shots with the 90 2.0 make for a 50 1.0 bokeh ...

Huh. I didn't see that coming at all! I was expecting to hear that you used the new Leica 24/1.4 ASPH to get the selective focus in a wide-angle shot. 🙂
Very cool technique, and the results are great -- keep it up!
