I'd like to understand the why of the pano besides the fact that it was there to do. Hi Sonny, Philippe and I were pondering the idea of a macro pano off list and I thought the result interesting enough to post. It involves stitching and focus stacking (a new term just learned from Geoff) to keep the main items in focus as the lens is panned to make each panel. I have done a bit of searching on the internet and there are two ways of making macro panos - by moving the tripod parallel to the subject for each shot or by rotating the camera and focus stacking. This is new to me and fun to experiment with so you're right - it was there to do - and there may be more if the bees and wasps will cooperate. Cheers Howard
