Yeah. It's just a tool in the photographers arsenal. When I see photographs taken by PDML members I'm often prompted to try and do something similar (that doesn't necessarily mean slavishly recreate the image; just produce something comparable).
Seeing the other photograph lets me know the kind of shot that is available from that vantage point, while saving me countless hours of speculative waqndering. It's why I have a photographers guide to Yosemite on my shelf; I'd rather put my limited time there to productive use, rather than insist on doing everything myself and ignore the effort others have expended finding good vantage points.
