This old tree is on a hilltop and is largely hidden from view until you approach it.
I picked the summer to photograph it as there was a good chance of a field of crops surrounding it rather than just bare soil.
The lighting was ideal that day, as the tree was illuminated, and the crop was catching the sunlight. I used 15 stops of ND to get an exposure time of 251 seconds to get the cloud movement, and I was lucky in that there was very little wind to blow the crops around during the long exposure.
