As you will see, when given this assignment, these National Geographic photographers came up with an ingenious solution: Use a dolly system to take multiple photographs of the tree, and stitch them together in post production.

For more than a year, Cory Fauver grew his beard and took photos of it on a daily basis. As you will see from the following video, the photos were very carefully planned. I envy this video because if I tried to do something similar, it would show a years worth of nothing more than a fuzzy chin. Video after the break.
