During my first ever visit to Melbourne, being a huge cricket fan i am, i had to check out the MCG. I went on the tour and also checked out the Twenty20 game between Victoria and Queensland. What a great stadium! I am thinking about getting the panoramic shot printed. I love the dramatic sky.

Nick, the only thing that could improve the pano is if the stands were full of people..well done on this.

I look at it this way though, it shows just how big the place actually is. :roll:

Thats a good excuse i guess.

Nah I used a Canon 17-55 2.8 IS at 17mm. I bought it to take away to Melbourne. Its an awesome lens. Worth every cent. The pano is 8 shots all up. 2 rows of 4 shots. The other shot was taken with a Canon 70-200 2.8 and a Canon 1.4x converter.

Glad you enjoyed your visit to Australia's 5th best cricket ground (behind SCG, Gabba, Adelaide and WACA)... :wink:

Great photo by the way.

Thanks!

I used Autostitch. I stiched the top row and bottom row of photos separately. Then i merged the separate rows together. Its an excellent program. I tried and tried with the Canon PhotoSitch but it would never get it right. Even with me choosing reference points. Autostitch did it all for me automatically. Brilliant stuff
