Hi Frankybaby I'm with you on this pal. I either work alone, or with no more than one or two others. Jostein and I wondered about the hill behind the house we stayed in last summer in Scotland, and actually we got on really well. Of course you end up pointing the camera in the same direction sometime, but only we know how we were framing it - and it was actually quite a lot of fun. But mostly, I'm a lone wolf, a solitary U-boat, out cruising looking for prey. Sure, larking around with a group is fun, and watch out, I do lots of candids - ask Jostein! BTW, you mention press snappers - most are sheep and will snap away stood next to each other, but watch for the singleton who separates off from the mob and tries to find a different vantage point, something slightly different, something slightly off-beat. He/she'll be in mega-stealth mode though - for if even one of the other's sees, the cover is blown and you can bet your sweet bippy that the pack will follow....
