After going out chasing a few times in my local area, I have noticed something. Finding a spot to stop and take photos / make reports / etc. without inconveniencing others and/or trespassing (stopping on a road alongside private property) is, well, awkward. I often find myself in empty parking lots or working with non-ideal positions on property owned by friends + family in the area I'm chasing in.
I understand that there is a certain way to go about chasing without having to worry too much about either of these - a sort of etiquette to it. Aside from the concerns about stopping and driving, I'm willing to bet there are several other significant items that come to the minds of those who have been around longer...
The reason I am making this thread is to open up a conversation about what is acceptable / unacceptable of spotters when they are out in the field. If anyone has any specific comments about this topic, feel free to add them below. I'm very interested to hear what everyone has to say so that I may be a better chaser.
Thanks much!
