It has to be a cliché when you stand at the spot where a famous image was made, and done countless times daily since the original, with a copy of the original photo memorialized on a sign right between your tripod's legs - and release the shutter (while surrounded by 100 other camera toting tourists making the same shot). But - you were the *only* one using a tripod :) Whoopee! In retrospect it may have been a waste of sunset lighting that could have been better used somewhere else in Yosemite during the few days we were there.
Nice reminder that you were there, but photographically - not much, just buy the postcard. As a conservative estimate I'd guess this shot has been taken several million times. How's that for originality?
But then, I tend to be a cynic.
