How hard can it be? by cherrymartina

How hard can it be?

How hard can it be to go to the same spot for four times, and not be able to get the same POV, and not even realize it until getting photos side by side.
It is obviously hard for me.
It is not really important, but even last summer I wanted to observe same views on different days and times of day, and I just can't get it. I get lost in the moment, seeing something else every time.
So I am making this my NY resolution, or goal or whatever that is to learn how to take the same shot. Maybe it turns out to be borring- but it is certainly a way to improve skills. At least each one of these little pics is beautiful. I took them on our vacation, and I just need to find similar motive with good enough background here at home to be able and compare seasons- that is the ultimate goal of this learning practice... PS: I know myself- even if I put an X on the ground I will mess up the angle, and I am not using tripod...
its beautiful

Different POV or not, these are absolutely brilliant! It really is hard to get the exact same crop, but they look masterful next to each other still. Fav for me!

Just sensational... the light in each is magnificent ...don't be so hard on yourself... look at each image and realize the beauty in each... now you should do each season.... I want to do that sometime....

very nice image, Martina. I do recommend a tripod and a prime lens if you have one. Your are correct. it is nearly impossible to get the same angle.
I used a 50mm lens and a tripod for these shots.

Start with the collage in the upper right of my link. I also recommend using a special tag when you post it so you can find all the images.

A lovey set of images Martina, they are all dramatic and beautiful, even if you are not standing on the exact same spot. Good luck with continuing on this technique.

@bill_fe, Wow Bill, Thank you. That is an impressive collection. I am getting an idea where to start... And I see it is possible after all.

I think that they are all beautiful images. I personally like the 2 on the right, because of the focus and light. Good luck with your project.

Great theme..Lovely views..

very cool

I don't think it matters that they aren't all exactly the same view point as they are all such lovely images

Great collage. I like the idea of taking the same image at different times of the year of times in the day. Maybe you need to put a marker on the ground and make sure you use the same settings on your camera

I still like it a loT. I have had the same problem with "my tree" too. Then I really memorized the spot like on a mental treasure map.

This is something I'd like to try too. Just need to find the perfect place. I think this is a gorgeous collage. Number 1 and 3 are stunning. The light in the sky and on the water perfectly beautiful. Fav for me 😊

@paul10, thanks Paul. I am also looking for the perfect spot. This tree is to far, like another country far... I hope we find it🙂

Love the comparisons though :)

Lovely collage

Really nice collage - fav!

I think that the slightly different perspective of the same tree makes this series of shots far more interesting. I love it. fav.

I,m Impressed

Quite clever intentional or not..:)
January 16th, 2017  
Fantastic. I think it works just fine as is!
January 16th, 2017  
Beautiful!

Beautiful captures and a great theme the third one is my favourite.

Beautiful images and collage. I don't think it matters if they are not from precisely the same point of view--they're close enough to be convincing.
January 17th, 2017  
These are beautiful!
January 17th, 2017  
I really like this and have been toying with the same idea for ages. What difficulties you have experienced is a lesson to us all. fav!

I am glad you like those photos- I like them too, and thank you for inputs on the project I want to do. I know I need to work on it- it is harder then I thought but I guess I will get some good photos on my way.
