At an OP expedition, Tom Baker setup an exercise for attendees. This was interesting data as guests were prepared and looking for a “subject” (Tom in a suit) and how difficult it was to locate and photograph him even though at times he was standing feet in front of them.
If they KNEW Tom was running around in a suit and they had difficulties spotting and photographing him, does that explain why it’s so difficult for others to successfully photograph a legitimate subject?

I think this was a great exercise to prove a point.

I reckon Blondy, Angel eyes or Tuco wouldn’t be able to fire a shot (photo) off if one poked out, even from the hip!

The concept behind this particular experiment is important and intriguing, however, to obtain more accurate results I suggest the use of an experimental control(s), such as a placebo-controlled study, random assignment, and/or blind or double-blind.
Although I would be thrilled to attend a “sasquatch event”, I have never taken the opportunity, and as such, I am unaware of each individual’s research methods. I presume many do include a control…IDK? The conrtol is used to ensure the results are valid, therefore minimizing and/or eliminating potential confounding variables, experimental error, bias, and alternate explanations.
Unfortunately our society is judgemental and views this topic unworthy of attention. If we want the public’s interest we should ensure our research is conducted properly. I’m not trying to be a snobby bitch (just hang with me here), I’m just suggesting a critical point…
I am thrilled to see so many intelligent people incorporating their ideas, perspectives, and creative research into what I refer to as the “Sasquatch Movement”. Thank you Tom Baker for your hard work and dedication. Again, I’m just trying to be helpful…

Wow – very illuminating! It would be as if the only feasible way to get a good pick of one, is to have a headband of 6-8 go-pro cameras, pointing in all directions, on constantly on, as one walks as silently through the woods as possible – however impractical that may be. While not even trying to look for them.
especially given the time it takes to get over the initial shock, then to react, then for your camera to turn on and focus before the subject has moved out of range and/or field of view.
