Thank you.

Did you take time to visit other villages or Nice ?

Well the more time consuming part is to setup the tripod ;-)
You have to level the panoramic head with an air buble to be sure that
the panorma is well horizontal.

Then you look at high light and low light in the panorama to figure out
the exposure. I usually expose for high light (with no or some over
exposure in part that is not important for the picture).
I only have to take 10 pictures to cover the whole 360° * 180°. It take
between 2 and 5 minutes maybe. It mostly depend if a lot of people are
present on the picture or not in fact.
