Apparently there are now movements amongst nature photographers to stop sharing specific location information when sharing images captured in remote, hard-to-find areas.
On one hand, that sounds a bit extreme. On the other hand, it makes perfect sense. If you’ve ever visited one of the iconic national parks during prime tourist season you’ll probably agree. People can be rather stupid and inconsiderate, especially when traveling in large groups, which is quite common at places like Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Zion National Parks.
So, if you find a secret spot and capture a lovely image or images, do share, just don’t share the exact location. Otherwise, next time you go back, there could be a huge parking lot, fences, people, trash, etc.
