Take four photos of the same outdoor scene. One in winter, one in spring, one in summer and one in fall. Then composed all four into a single image (Quadpych) rules.

[Note: This would be a special challenge entry period to be in Spring. (5 season span). I know it's a very unusual idea but I think it'd be a fun one.]

If you want to get really unusual it could be a sort-of "advance speed challenge" by limiting it to shots made exactly on the first day of each season, i.e. the Summer/Winter Solstices and the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes.

I'm not sure it needs to be exactly the same scene each time (definite advantage to those with nice-looking deciduous trees), or just scenes exenplifying each season.

I was thinking it's a fairly challenging challenge in and of itself. So it might be best to actually keep it quite open.

Very true ... it's an interesting idea.

This is a photo project that is on my list of things to do someday. There's a photo here on DPC who has an outstanding series of four images of a scene with a tree, one each for the four seasons. I'll be darned if I can find it now though. Frustrating!

Other projects on my list: Shoot the same landscape with setting sun on three dates, the summer and winter solstices, and one of the equinoxes. Then blend with photoshop to show the path of the setting sun on all three dates. I've had that image in my mind for years but have never mustered the planning and execution phases.

Another, shoot an analemma.

It'd definitely be a new type of challenge for DPC.
