Besides that if you were to put your camera right there in the same spot
every day and take a photo, everyone of them would be different.
Sometimes it seems that people who are not creative get too tied up into
the generalities of things and do not see the subtile differences that
make the picture.
It is like those people who say they have a great idea for a book. It is
not the ideas that are hard to come up with, it is the hundreds of hours
of hard work that is <grin>.

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.

I was going to tell you that you are full of shit, but I think it
is
enough to say that I think you are quite wrong.
What the hell is creative in standing in another person tripod holes?
You seem to miss the point. This is the equivalent of putting a piece
of
transparent paper over a Picasso and trace the drawing underneath.
You learn
nothing from it. This is not about paying homage to an artist but
pure
plagiarism. To pay homage you could find another mountain. Another
moon
rise, and try to make something Ansel may have done if he was in your
place.
The "photographers" on the image is the most patethic bunch of sad
bastards
I've ever seen.
