Oh yeah, that is super rude and unnecessary. Even when I lost my patience and tried to duck under photo areas, part of me felt badly, because I know how it is when you cosplay and you're trying to be accommodating to someone who wants your picture then and there.
Yeah, my policy is to avoid getting in the way of photos no matter where they're being taken. It only takes a moment for someone to snap a picture, so I don't mind stopping for a second. If it's more than one person taking a picture, or it takes too long, then I duck under the camera(s).
For the most part, the people I saw getting in the way of pictures didn't even realize someone was trying to take one and were apologetic if they noticed after the fact. People doing it on purpose would have upset me.
That said, I took one picture in a main walking area when it was at a standstill. I would have understood if it started moving and someone walked in front of it. It's a matter of priority.
