I just realised that I do not like to seriously re-shoot images I did in the past.
Here is the story: About 3 years ago I shot a harbour scene with some very special light around sunset. I did not have a tripod with me, so technically speaking the image is not perfect, but it is still one of my favourites. Now it happens to me that now, 3 years later, I spend a lot of time near where I took that image. Same time of the year, same location, and in some nights even the same light. So when I knew I would be back here, I was really looking forward to re-shoot, but this time technically more perfect.
But I just cannot do it ... seems there is a psychological barrier for me to go back there at the same time, same light and redo it.
Anyone got similar experience?
Maybe it is because the first shot was taken several years ago ... maybe it is since I feel like copying from another person (myself 3 years ago). Don't know. It just feels strange!
