Catch NoSuch Element with log.error in webdriver?

I added log4j(apache software) as logger to my webdriver testing.

I wonder if log.error statements should be put in catch block as good practice?

Are not we supposed to use exception e object and just work with e like this: e.printStackTrace()?

Is it a proper practice to add log.error into catch block?

​public static WebElement destinationTextBox(WebDdriver driver){    
try{    
element = driver.findElement(by...) ;  //this can raise exception if no element found  
}
//it will be caught here
catch(NoSuchElementException e){    
log.error( "no element found") ;
}

// if element found and no exception, just log 'element found'
log.info(Destination text box element found) ;
