To the extent of standing in the same tripod holes, exactly the same light; exactly the same time of day - they even try to get the moon in exactly the same place in the sky! Theres nothing wrong trying to shoot varioations of this scene - even stanting near or in the tripod holes. But this is obviously something else.
Pål ======== Yes, it's trying to duplicate the master. Do you seriously imagine anyone succeeded? Got a shot that looked exactly like his? But I bet they learned a lot in the process. And some probably turned out some very fine shots. Truly creative people don't worry about stealing overmuch. Look at all the painters that said they stole. Why did they say that? Because there are only so many images, so many ideas. And they were secure in their own creativity and style and skill enough to know what they turned out was unique anyway. As everything each of us turns out is unique. In its own way. Marnie aka Doe
