How Is This Possible??

Skippy

I can't believe it, but it's true......

Two Years ago I went on a SmugMug/Dgrin Post Shoot,
where we also went to Moab, Canyon Lands, DeadHorse Point Etc.

I apparently have managed to photograph the exact same tree from two years ago as I did on this shoot :rofl

Of all the trees in the USA how is it that one Ozzie can find the exact same tree, and shoot it from almost exactly the same spot ?? :scratch freaky hu?

Wow. Excellent shots both times too.

Guess your eye is consistent.

Nice! Both are excellent shots, captured in their respective mediums.

Balanced the compositions, like bookends. They're both great, but I personally like the one with color

Look!!! It has grown! Now you can call it a long-term photo study. Wasn't there another Dgrinner that shot that same tree and posted it about a year back, and you called him/her on that and posted your first shot?

I would be more impressed if you went out shooting locally back home and it was also there waiting for you.

I shot the same spot twice at the Grand Canyon 10 years apart, and never knew it for 10 years more.

Beautiful ! loving your steps into IR !

I guess that just confirms that you have a consistently good eye!

That's pretty funny, but I think it's awesome all the same.

What's amazing is how little the tree has changed in two years. I like the color version as well.

Very, very (did I mention very?) beautiful!

It's such a striking image that I bet you'll photograph it next time, too.

Now that is freaking hysterical!!! Great shots but I think on your next visit, you may want to see a bit more of the country.

Nope, not freaky at all. Now if the tree was waiting for you back home, as already mentioned, that would be freaky. Both are wonderful images.

Beautiful shots Skippy, both of them.

I guess that in the past 2 years you must have photographed everything there is to photograph, and now you are just starting all over again in IR.

there cant be many trees out there anyway can there?

at least you have learned from previous mistakes and not centred the tree this time

If I didn't know the top shot is IR, I'd have thought that you were a time traveler based on the Exif data. Now that would be freaky.:D The clouds certainly make both of them more interesting.

Thanks everyone, I thought I'd seen that tree before hahaha

I'm just amazed that I would come across it again, as I had no clue where I was exactly when I shot it the first time.

One Ozzie, One Tree, One Mission....... Shoot IR ... Skippy
