To photograph or not to photograph?

what's the fun in just deleting the photo. Deleting the log as well sends a stronger message

 

And the message is: DON'T LOOK FOR MY CACHES!

Hi there folks,

I'm a newbie geocacher, having been active for about a month (and enjoying every minute of it I might add ). I'd like to get people's opinions on one aspect of the activity... I've developed a habit of taking a quick close-up photograph of the contents of each cache that I find, and including this for posterity with my "Found It" log entry. Aware that folk don't need to look at photos, and that the web site warns that pictures may be "spoilers", I've not seen a problem with this. However, this evening I noticed a log from another 'cacher expressing their annoyance at what I've done. Whilst I found their log rather rude I do not want to be spoiling things for others and would therefore appreciate some feedback on the subject. If people are strongly against recording photos like this then I will stop doing it

Thanks in advance, and Happy Caching,

Glenikins

 

Photographing the exact area of the cache or the cache container itself is not good form. If I see scenery or an unusual container and I want them in my gallery I'll take the pictures and post them on a different cache, one thats not even in the same town as the recorded cache, or one of my own.
