@timsmalley fantastic, congratulations!
I'm currently searching for my white whale but do you have any tips on how to get consistent framing? I plan to use a fixed focal length and hope to mark the tripod feet with rocks if the location allows for it.

@shom thanks a lot. I use What3words to get close, and then just look at the framing of previous photos (plus EXIF) for exact focal length. I have 9 or 10 photos of this tree, and the framing did change a little over the whole series, but not significantly so.
