>>3611352Not to derail the thread, but this seems like as good an opportunity to bring this up as ever, and it's something I've been thinking about. With scenes like this that have been photographed over and over and over, don't you guys feel like that fact detracts from the act of capturing it for yourself? Especially with something like this where it's not even a new angle, or really special light, or weather, or anyhting, how does the feeling compare to an image you captured that you haven't seen from anybody else? There are some very heavily photographed landscapes not far from me, and I've been thinking about spending a weekend out there myself, and it does seem like there would be a form of satisfaction with recreating a really great shot I've seen from somebody else. However, the thing that's stopped me from making the trip so far is the feeling that even if I did manage to get the picture, It wouldn't feel special looking back on it, and it wouldn't even be a particularly useful technical exercise because practically all the work of composing the shot has already been done for you, at least compared to a shot you found for yourself.
