wanted to get a reference image of this old bulldozer but I was too close with the lens that I had (that&#8217;s a whole other story as to why I only had a 28mm prime lens with me).\u00a0 My solution was to meter the scene for all aspects and then shoot a series of images in manual mode.\u00a0 It&#8217;s necessary to control the exposure to ensure a good match, if you let the camera control the exposure then as you frame each image it will want to make changes to the shutter speed and aperture.\u00a0 So once I have all my images back home I use a piece of software that is actually free, not spam spam spam and pay us a fee, <a href=\"http:\/\/research.microsoft.com\/en-us\/um\/redmond\/groups\/ivm\/ICE\/\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft&#8217;s Image Composite Editor<\/a>.\u00a0 It does such a good job I would hate to be a commercial company trying to make a similar product.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"frame-outer  aligncenter size-full wp-image-3357\"><span><span><span><span><a
