That would eliminate the biggest bottleneck of our event: the move from the
panaroamic shoot to the show field. On the other hand it requires a
compromise between a good photo local and a cozy, comfortable show venue. You
need a clear field for the photoshoot and that usually means full sun for the
car show.
Also, the car arrangement is a compromise, too.
There are cases where this would work well. But not in all cases.
An alternate schedule I would suggest is to hold the photo shoot after the
show/judging. The photographer and/or the club photshoot organizer can walk
the field and chose what cars he wants up front, grouped together, etc.,
and then designate who arrives at the photoshoot field at what time. There
could be a lunch break in between, too.
