Still a single camera solution....

Trace a circular line on the ground around the monument. Mark every place you want to take a capture. Use a tripod, vertical column on the each mark, in turn.

You have two issues:
- Tripod level (as horizontal)
- Tripod elevation.

The tripod elevation can be easily solved using a laser lever fixed on a second tripod, the laser being reoriented (rotated) toward the next point of view using the first tripod elevation as a reference. Both tripods need to be level of course.


For the tripods height and centerline of the lens, RGG suggests a laser level. I have a very inexpensive alternative. Water always finds its own level in a tube. Many years working on construction projects and my Pop’s experience as a boatwright taught me that if you take some 3/8 inch clear tubing of any length and fill it with water, each end when raised will be perfectly level to the other. Once it settles of course.

As to focusing error. It was fixed and while the DoF was enough, the wings are sometime out of focus, among other things.

Lighting is not a problem per say. Focusing is.
If you want consistant lighting wait for an overcast day.
