How about we do it every 6 months instead?
That means we still get a fairly regular event; we get more time to
perfect our creations in post-production and we can avoid bad weather
days by choosing a day to shoot on.
I think we have to keep a balance between the time we all have
available for this 'hobby project', the quality of the outputs and how
all the data is collated & presented at the end of the day.
