Firstly, there is no need to fiddle with the menu settings on your camera to include a date/time stamp. All photo's have date and time information embedded in them. Using a decent picture viewer will allow you to see this, and also to display the date time info on a phtograph after the fact.
I use Irfanview:

This is a brilliant free viewer which also allows you to sharpen up a photo afterwards, (photo's are not optimally sharp from your camera) as well as view or insert date/time information that is embedded in your photo.
Panorama's:
This software is worth it's weight in gold, I cannot say enough good things about it --

It allows you to take several photo's overlapping, and then this program will invisibly stitch them together giving you a larger panorama. This is better to see because it is more to how our eyes view something but it gives you a tremendous boost in quality because if your camera shoots in say 7 mega-pixels, by combining 3 pics together you have a panorama of close to 21 mega-pixels.
Take these pano's to the Xerox shop and you can get them printed in a giant A2 size on the Plan Printer for less than $20. This is superb for presentations to Aldermen (which I have used several times and never fails to impress a point!) or Tribunals etc.
In any presentation to Council, be it Planning or Appeals or Tribunals, large printouts are very effective.
