That's why I don't like shooting with other photographers.
You see a lot of the same sort of "herd mentality" at work among the pro
photogs at the auto races, too. It's both sad and funny, in a way. For
example, at the beginning of the 2005 Petit le Mans, there was a huge
accident in the first corner. About fifty or sixty pro photogs were
standing in a herd all getting the same shots of the wreck from the same
position. I was about 25 meters to their left, and I got better shots
of the wreck as it developed than any I've seen in a publication or on a
web site (I've shown them here before, but it was a while ago). Too bad
I didn't have any contacts to sell them (and still don't). :-(
If you're interested, there's still a page up with web-sized shots and a
narrative: <http://nutdriver.org/Wreck/Narrative.shtml> Click on the
photos to see the web-size versions.
Somewhere, I've got photos of "herds" of pro photogs at other places
around Road Atlanta, too. There are several spots that draw them like
cows to a salt lick.
