What is the definition of insanity? "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." In life this may be true, but as a photographer... Living on a relatively small island, far away from any land mass, I tend to photograph the same scene or subject again and again. Do I get different result, of course, but there are limitations. However, if I change my composition, time of day, or use a different lens, I can create a different look.

Both photo's were taken at the same location. The first photograph was taken in 2006, the second in 2013. Each photograph evokes a different emotion. By changing the composition of the two small islands in the frame of the picture, it will naturally produce different results. Weather also plays an important role. The reason I decide to blog about this topic, because sometimes I say to myself, I've photographed this before, I want new material. That is a natural reaction. But, if you asked ten photographers to photograph this same location you will get ten different interpretations. And that's the beauty of photography, you return to the same location or photograph the same subject and you can produce different results. "I Learned From That".
