In my experience most 'serious' photographers are aware of others and try to stay out of the way, or wait until I have finished, and I would do likewise, It is the mobile phone/i-pad brigade and tourist'happy snappers' who are the most inconsiderate
I can't believe the results so far with this one. It happens to me all the time. Just a couple of the many times - I remember a long number of years ago when the locomotive Flying Scotsman had just returned from the USA and was making a run on the Easty Coast Main Line. A few miles North of Newark (infamous for the mass trespass across both lines that day) , a gallery of about 25 of us waited patiently for 'the shot' - a vicar (of all things) appeared with a lady friend and proceeded to walk through the gallery and stand some 10 yards in front of us all chatting away and ignoring all requests - needless to say the requests became blasphemous and only just sort of violent. As for co-operation, myself and a freelance photographer friend went on a charter last year organised by a very prominent 'Events' concern at the Lincolnshire home of a Lancaster aircraft. now despite space and time constraints on shooting the operating aircraft at night, and the requests of the organiser - the initial gallery became like the Berlin Wall nor one would move to let others take a shot, and all these 'fellow photographers' some of them must have over 100 identical shots. Some of us not one! a resulting exchange of words with the organiser appears to have resulted in a 'lifetime ban' from photo charters for my freelance pal. wherever I go to (mainly) transport events there is guaranteed to be at least one person who makes great play of deliberately (it seems) stopping me getting a shot - without them in it! Some photographers do have that understanding, others need gentle, or not so gentle, nudging but with 'huge' tablets and viewfinder-less arms length photers becoming the 'norm. it sure ain't easy, especially for this 70 year old!
