Large group photo's - ?cheating

[Rooster]

Hi everyone
My first post. Take pics for fun and occasionally do a good one!
I have taken some photo's of a large choir, 45 people, but not owning expensive equipment not happy with resulting light and depth of field. Was thinking of doing something different next time by taking individual pics of each member (on my little Sony dsc w7) and collating them together in photoshop. Has anyone done this before and have any tips.
Cheers
Rooster

Rooster,
I'm not familiar with your camera, but some cameras will allow you to "stitch" your images together to form either a large group shot or a panoramic shot. Once you have taken the images, then the software will automatically remove the seams from the resulting image and then you will have a decent group shot. Photoshop should allow you to do this too, but if your camera doesn't have stitch mode, then it will be a little tougher to accomplish.
