Remember to be cognizant of other photographers when you are walking around or preparing to set up you tripod or take a photo (look around to see if you might be in another photographer’s viewing angle). If you see another photographer already setting up their shot please be courteous and stay out of their line of shooting. If you have a good location, please be prudent with your time so that other photographers might also have the opportunity to capture their spectacular images from that or a nearby location as well. You should also move from the intended field of view as well, and not linger or be involved in a conversation that could take place elsewhere. Please note that this ettiquette applies indoors (in a church for example) or outside even where the photographer “aiming” in your direction might be several hundreds of feet away. Also, be careful when you stand up or back up with your long lens, there might be a fellow photographer behind you that you might bump into. Follow the old adage: do unto a fellow photographer as you would with another photographer would do to you!
