it probably depends a lot on the kind of monuments you're expecting :) If you're in a city neighborhood, like Amsterdam, with many monuments packed together, there's only really one side to photograph the monument from. All you can really do there, is make sure no people/trees are in the way (and the 'snapshots' are possibly the best you can get). But of course the more spacious and the more angles are possible, the more time you will need.
So basically the lesson then would be: don't try to listen to other countries when determining the length, but just use your common sense and knowledge of the local situation :P Lodewijk 2012/6/28 Nicu Buculei <nicub...@gmail.com> > On 06/28/2012 12:02 PM, Lodewijk wrote: > >> >> good points!
