How to take good photos of javelin events in sports meeting?

The most beautiful posture of javelin is not the moment of release, but the last step, the so-called "full bow"

This movement is generally difficult to grasp from the angle, which is also related to the athlete's posture

Because to fully show the power of the full bow, the photographer needs to stand on the side of the athlete holding the javelin, but if it is at a 90-degree angle with the athlete, the javelin may block his face. If you are in front of the athlete, it may affect the athlete's state, so it is best to shoot a little behind in front of the side. If the background is the sky and white clouds, it will look better. This angle will fully show the state of full bow, the tension of muscles, and the eyes of athletes looking into the distance.

Remember, don't use the flash!
