Here's a handheld HDR shot, taken at 16mm. Unfortunately, the 5MB file size of the forums means a slightly blurry looking shot. I used a fairly high shutter speed because the wind was blowing the trees around slightly. Leaves were almost waving.
Here's a panoramic shot taken at 85mm, and shot from a tripod. I rotated the camera to portrait mode.
I took an initial shot in Av mode to get initial camera settings, which I used as a starting point for a manual settings. All of the shots in the panorama were shot with identical focus and exposure settings, which is critical for success. The above image is actually a 40MB file, but I had to compress it under 5MB to post it to the forums.
Tricks? Um, no. Once you become one with the camera, there no tricks. I use my 7D2 mostly for action shots, where it can really shine, although I don't think I have full figured out the AF modes.
Use a very fast focusing lens with it. EF 100400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM.

What sort of macro shots. You can get very narrow DOF at very short shooting distances.
Is the shot below similar to what you're seeing?
I used the EF 100 f/2.8L to take a series of photos of a dime, just to practice technique of stacking photos. The above photo may appear to be OOF, and for most of the dime's surface, it is out of focus. But, notice how there is a narrow band running across the center of it that is in focus.
I wound up taking a series of photos, each shot captured focus on a different part of the dime's surface. I had to allow for the focused areas to overlap a bit, so that the image stacking software can do its' job.
I wound up taking shots at 10 different angles. Not exactly a perfect job, but I was trying out some new focusing rails.
[EDIT] I should add that I manually focused the lens, too, while tethered to my laptop. Like I said, it was an experiment.
