When you are not the primary photographer, and you are not counted on for the key shots, you get to take chances, find interesting angles, be creative, and if it all fails... hey, it's OK, someone else was on point to do the heavy lifting.
I discovered this first hand when shooting a wedding on Martha's Vineyard. The couple was married at the foot of a lighthouse. I took one look and knew that to shoot straight down with a long lens would give me a unique perspective. I almost didn't get the shot due to extreme winds, but in the end I was very happy with this one. Had I been the lead photographer, I never would have risked this shot and given up the standard shots that were on the check list.
