How come that the number of sightings and photographs are decreasing, not increasing? If she REALLY was in there, and with the large number of people that have smartphones and digital cameras these days then there should be an avalanche of high quality, non-photoshopped, non-grainy photos with appropriate background imagery to allow us to discern scale.
Okay, I have a philosophical argument to counter this.
Years ago, before 'Nessie' came to the forefront of the public's mind (pre 1930s?) and at a time when getting to remote parts of Scotland was not an option for most, Loch Ness was a very quiet place. Very quiet. A place where Nessie could roam without much worry. Compare that to now, when about 500,000 people per year visit the loch. Suddenly, we have a very jumpy Nessie. A Nessie probably too timid to be active in the daytime. So, ironically, there's even less chance of getting a photo now than there was several decades back.
My advice: invest in some top-notch infra-red technology and a quiet dinghy.
