Put the camera in manual or AE lock so every shot has the same exposure. Take overlapping shots while rotating in the same spot. Merge the shots as a pano in lightroom or special panorama stitcher software. Most important is to keep the camera level which is easy to do with the level indicators in

It's a banksia which is part of the protea family. That tree's quite misshapen and leaning badly due to being grown over by larger trees so we're likely to remove it at some stage. I'm wanting to plant another in its place because it's nice having bellbirds around. Cheers, Dave > On Aug 10, 20

Thanks, Rick & Larry. The bee actually crawled right up inside the floret. The difficulty with getting sharp macros is DOF. I used f16 in this case. Perhaps I'll try again at f22 or even f32. Henk T uses stacks with stationary subjects like mushrooms but I haven't tried that yet. Alan C On 18
