This image of a dahlia buds and blooms is composed of 7 individual shots taken at 180mm. The botanical garden in Christchurch, New Zealand is lovely, and on our last afternoon in Christchurch before flying back the the US, I found these dahlias in varying stages of flower. There was a fairly strong breeze, so the most difficult part of shooting this was waiting for the breeze to pause before each shot.
