Many sports photographers will use a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera that has high continuous shooting speeds, as well as interchangeable lenses, in order to keep up with the depth and pace of the game. Furthermore, many implore the use of a tripod to keep their camera steady. However, it is not uncommon to also see photographers sitting or even laying on the ground to get the perfect shot. Today, we’re going to see some breathtaking sports pictures.

It’s Too Easy

Okay, so there’s “making it look easy,” and then there’s being so underwhelmed by pole vaulting 12 feet into the air that you literally yawn while you do it. They say that you yawn not necessarily when you’re tired, but more so when you’re feeling relaxed. In that case, this talented athlete feels completely at ease as she uses a flexible pole to launch herself a dozen feet into the air in front of spectators, teammates, and coaches! Wow. This is a very impressive photo.
