Locked elbows and knees are the bane of photography - how many pictures of tops and backs of heads do we see? As I get older, and cameras get heavier (or so it seems) I am also tempted to get lazy and not try to get a different viewpoint.
Was once at an event, struggling to get a decent shot of the speaker, a shot without the microphone smack dab in the middle of his face, when I noticed the other photographer sitting in the center of the auditorium, shooting with a gazillion dollars worth of Canon equipment (lenses the size of fire hydrants) and shooting head on mike over the face blandness.
In any event, most of the time I shoot these kinds of things, I hear "Great shots, could we have two of the handshake, and the group shot?"
I guess it boils down to shooting for one's own satisfaction, and not settling for "good enough".
