Re: Shooting advice



My advice would be to not even try as the result will be unsatisfactory whichever
time of day you chose, unless it is overcast.  Most pan cameras are horrible
directly into the sun, and if you are taking groups you will not make out the
faces.

Why not do it at 3 times of day and stitch it up?
