I would forgive someone from using the same tripod holes, especially if accidental. When I gaze at Yosemite Valley, I tend to put myself in an AA scene. I look for something to happen atmospherically that will add drama. I don't consider being shown a potential location in which I might capture a successful nature shot, as an extension of copying. If I could live in Yosemite Valley for 40 years, I'd likely discover more of my own locations. Jack
