Question on flag/national anthem etiquette

My son's little league team has made the championship game today. They do the whole national anthem and player introductions before the game. Id love to get my good camera on the field and snag pics during it.

Is it considered bad etiquette to take pics during anthem instead of standing with hand over heart?

Anyone getting upset about that is not worth worrying about*

As RVA said, just make sure the organizer knows and you're fine.

Happens in tennis all the time, small events, large events...there's always at least one photographer moving around a bit, and its totally fine.

Have you ever seen images or video of the national anthem being performed at a ballpark?

It's likely that humans were involved in capturing those visuals.

I think it's fine but obviously let the umps, other team, organizer know

They'll probably just want inclusion in the shots too

Already been done*
