Hey,

The Auckland Harbour bridge is a bit of a local icon, and cliche for aspiring photographers ;D

However ML helped out heaps to get a great shot!

Rather than the viewfinder I used Liveview, with a cheap 3x magnifying loupe so I could make use of some ML features to help out.

This way I could use Zebras, Focus peaking, and 10x digital zoom to get a really nice clear picture.

Since it's a stitch of about 20 photos it's important to have the tripod level, and I dont have a levelling bubble.
So I used the ML crop mark 'crosshairs', to setup my tripod with a few quick test pans, which worked great.

Thanks to the ML team for the hard work towards these great features to make nice photos easier to take.

Also used Hugin for the stitching which I highly reccomend, it's great.

Taken with 600D and 55-250mm kit lense, ISO 100, F7.1, 8sec exposure.
