Locations: How Much Info is Too Much Info?

A forum discussion in which I recently participated (it involved an ethical question related to providing GPS coordinates for a photography destination) has me thinking today about how much information to reveal about photography subjects and locations and the factors that we might want to consider as we share such things. With that in mind, here is a link to something I posted on this topic after a conversation with a photographer friend who is a retired Yosemite ranger.

  1. Fishermen don’t mind telling in what lake or stream they’ve made their limit, but will go to their graves with the exact location of their fishing holes. I’d hate to see you deliberately withhold place names, but I don’t think you need be more specific than that. As you and others have pointed out, the self-realization of one’s unique vision should be the goal rather than copying another’s.
