Event photography

When is a group shot not just a group shot?
When you have 4 or 5 other photographers waiting to take advantage of the group shot that you set up.

This is an image off the web of a shot I did a while back that I have not had a chance to get on my blog. It's not a work of photographic art or anything close to it but what makes it memorable to me is how it came to be.
I was coming to the end of the shoot and I wanted to do a group shot. I gathered the group together and set up the car, went to get a ladder and by the time I got back with the ladder the other photographers were getting ready to shoot the group.
So what have we learned here? Always wait until all the other photographers have left before you set up a new shot?
No.
Work well with other photographers because what goes around, comes around?
Yes :-)
Class dismissed.
