Latest Bigfoot "evidence"

[John Nowak]

Great photo!

Thanks! It's appreciated.

Nice post - the only thing is it understates things a bit.

Why don't any one of the hundreds of bigfoot researchers have a better camera than I do? After all these years, why can't any of them get a picture of Bigfoot as clear as a tiger picture I took in a week?

Just staying within the MA.

See here is my issue. I have decent camera gear which I hand out to my kids. I give them challenges. Get a pic of a squirrel with all four feet off the ground. They have no difficulty meeting that challenge. Now, squirrels are ten a penny, hence the challenge of all four feet of the ground. Not only did they do it with ease, you could pick out the individual hairs at a range of 25 or so feet.

Figboot? Fuzzy Blob^TM. That's all you get. A child can do it, a bigfooter cannot. Go figure.

...They have no difficulty meeting that challenge. ...

It's downright extraordinary. Looking at pictures of Bigfoot is like time travelling, and nobody's improved on cameras since 1975.

No automatic focus, no drive mode, and you get one picture instead of a set of 20 taken over eight seconds.

I hereby solemnly swear that if I ever see Bigfoot, I'm holding the shutter down in drive mode.

Man, how did we ever find (real) animals before there were guides?

Come to think of it, those guides were local farmers who knew the area and the individual animals.

Shouldn't Chris be a bigfoot guide?

Apple has huge billboards all over San Francisco displaying photos taken on their new iPhones. The photos are amazing clear, sharp, and very beautiful, even after being enlarged to perhaps 20 x 10 feet (?) in size. They include very diverse subject matter. So even a smart phone can take an incredible photo now.

I'll regurgitate a recent memory.
My rather decent SLR did a worse job of capturing the recent full eclipse than my iPads and iPhone.
So it's hardly rocket science to get a damned good HD shot of cool things in this day and age.
Due to a dodgy shoulder I wasn't able to use "The Big Boy", and no that's not a euphemism, but I managed good shots of something a very very long way away.
So this 15ft away "HD" footage is nonsense. I know darned well that Chris has no idea what HD actually means.

John Nowak is correct. Drive mode.

Right. I have mentioned a number of times that all of the farms/ranches surrounding alleged bigfoot habitats are operated by people who have daily experience for lifetimes. A lot of them lease their lands to hunters too. Yet, they are carefully avoided by 'footers.

How is it that outsiders can lay claim to knowing the animals better than the people who actually live there? Predation is obviously an issue they concern themselves with too, but not with bigfoot.

What kind of behavior explains why 'footers avoid the administrators of park lands, the fish and game departments, the various wildlife researchers, the farmers/ranchers owning lands around the alleged habitats - why do they so scrupulously avoid anyone who actually knows something about the animals?

Because they know themselves bigfoot does not exist. They have to work in an alternate reality in order to enjoy the bigfoot game. People who know the animals are going to be big party poopers for BLAARGers.

Hands up. Who's got a decent camera?

Most encounters don't last long enough for someone to use a camera.

You likely won't remember that you have a camera on you when you see something like Bigfoot for the first time.

All of them? That's sounds like an unjustifiable assertion.

That's likely another unjustifiable assertion.

I didn't say all of them. Just most of them.

It's from actual eyewitness reports. They are so shocked at what they see that they don't really remember anything else in the actual moment.

Then where are the ones that can be photographed? You know, like the tiger photo John Nowak provided.

Yes, the mostly anonymous, unverifiable "reports." Lots of unusual stuff happens in Penthouse Letters too.

Lol. That's so silly.

But.... You're looking for FigBoot!

I'm going to quote this for lurkers and numpties:

"You likely won't remember that you have a camera on you when you see Bigfoot for the first time"

Someone teach me how to the doglaugh emoji

I have a crappy, cheapo, outdated camera that's with me whenever I'm in the field. I have very little idea how to use it (e.g., it took me about 4 years to figure out what the "macro" setting was), and I've got perpetually unsteady hands. Despite these limitations, check out some of my diagnostic photographs in this set that I call "tiny, fast-moving birds behind veils of complex vegetation that make auto-focus a total crap-shoot":
