I think it is simply a matter of choise. Please do realize we didn't force
the photographers to walk faster, we were just being realistic to what you
can expect someone to spend time on. To be honest, expecting someone to
stand still for more than 30s for each grachtenpand in Amsterdam is a bit
unrealistic. There are simply too many of them. Also, please note that we
did have 5 or 6 routes already, each of then with 150-250 monuments on
them. Often a whole block of houses could be monumental. And still we
covered only a fraction of the total.
It is a matter of focus on super quality (which this perhaps didn't
achieve) and coverage of many monuments without any photo (which we were
successful at). In my humble opinion I think all monuments got the
attention they needed to get a decent/good quality picture. They were not
snapshots from a moving car. Yes, you can also focus on super quality - but
then you need a different target group (only people with expensive cameras
allowed) and you need to pick the monuments who are suitable for that.
Grachtenpanden from Amsterdam in the middle of the day are not likely to
give super quality photos under any condition.

Some participants in the past have completed
these 250 monuments routes
in
ca. 2 ours, taking over 100 pictures an hour.
That sounds great for the WLM world record but horrible for the
monuments themselves. In 30s there is no time to appreciate the
monument, to see the efforts put into building it.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have different groups covering
different parts of the street?
Just my 2c,
Strainu
