- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I struggled the other day with some ethics while taking some pictures at a local spot that the locals like to fish at. It was very rural, very photogenic and just plain beautiful. As I was taking some photos though, I noticed some trash that the locals had left. Not a lot, but some. I thought about picking the trash up and packing it out of there, but hated the thought of trash in my camera bag so I opted not to.
So it begs the question, at places like this should we clean up the trash made by others?
I can see not cleaning up an entire abandoned factory of course, which I often explore, but in a nice location with only a little bit of trash? I always kept the mantra, "Leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but photos", I am thinking I should make an exception to trash and bringing a trash bag with me to make it better for those that come behind me.
