Somehow there’s always a place where photographers flock to in the attempt to take the perfect photograph. In Monterey, you’ve got that area to snapshot the lonely tree. In San Francisco, there’s a “hidden” pathway where you get the perfect angle of the Golden Gate bridge. And as I wander through Flickr and iStock, there seems to be just that spot photographers have decided to all go to the perfect skyline shot of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge as if it were a competition. I guess it sort of is.
In observing the following, it’s pretty interesting how four completely different photographers have decided to capture this exact same imagery in pretty much the same spot (maybe zoomed a bit further or stepping a little more to the left). The photos come out slightly different but pretty much the same. And what’s also interesting is that the one who doesn’t sell the rights to their photo (ala the usual flickr ones) always look the best. What to do?
