Placing control point in obscured area?

Should I place control points also in areas where the actual point of interest is not visible / obscured by something? Or does that confuse RC more than it helps?

Good questions - but how do you place a point when you can’t see the point of interest in the pic? By extrapolating from things you can see?

Yes.

Good question. I do it sometimes (in emergencies) but couldn’t say if it is counterproductive or not…
