Hi Guys
I just bought a Sigma 12-24 specifically so that I could concentrate on trees and buildings for the site. I want to take pics of trees on their own and the wide angle allows for this. My ID of trees is poor however. Is it OK to submit like the one below for ID or do I have to get more info - maybe a close up of a leaf or something.
thanks
Andrew

I think it is an Ash ( Fraxinus escelsior) but would rather see a close-up  |

I think your right Kev - is definitely fraxinus - but we cant nail down the sp. without a leaf close up
boddie, I reccomend this for Tree Ids, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0...lance&n=266239

An Ash is a good bet, but looking at the location and the overall shape, it could well be a Rowan (mountain ash) - Sorbus aucuparia. |

The leaves look wrong for that to me Alan - otherwise I'd agree on other factors, we need a close up ....

I save the pic, put it in photoshop and blew up the top of the tree to 400% (yes I do have too much time on my hands and should get out more), its yery pixelly but they look like ash to me.
