What a great idea. I took this on Sunday evening on the way back from a walk with the dogs. I noticed it from the country lane and pulled over. It's at the foot of a well-known iron age hill fort (Wolstonbury Hill) and on the other side of a field of llamas.If this tree is still alive if would be a great series if shot the same in all four seasons.

I shall try and remember. There is a very large Jacobean mansion behind me when I took that photo. The owner is a friend and that could make a great present for him (and me).I vote for what Don said. if at all possible Jonathan, you should photograph this tree in all season. I did that once for a friend and then we printed a displayed all 4 photos in one long frame. it occupies pride of place on his dining room wall.
Can't I just photoshop it?Just mark your calendar for the 4 seasons and remember exactly where and how you shot it. It is really hard to find a specimen tree like this that is in the open.
No you can't and I hope your editing software allows you to see all of your exif data so that you can shoot it with the same lens, same focal length , etc. Of course shutter speed and f stop might have to be adjusted to cope with different light. But duplicating the shooting circumstances as closely as possible really ads to the excitement of such a project. Best of luck and be sure to post the results.
