Aggie Baseball- Olsen Field ??

[Matt_G]

Going to be covering the Tech-Aggie Series next weekend... anybody been to Olsen Field before (as photographer). Looking for any tips, insight or just logistics since its my first time at the venue (as photographer). Thanks.

Been there myself hundereds of times as a fan but never noticed photographers back then...

I was wondering the same thing myself. What're you covering the series for?

If you figure it out, update us! I was wanting to shoot some pics of the Mizzou series.

I am covering the game for a media/wire type service... mainly for MLB prospects who will you be working for?

Hope to get some info from someone :)

Not working for anyone, just a fun weekend shooting aggie sports. there's also softball, tennis, soccer goin on that weekend so I'll make the trip down.

[Matt_G]

so you are just planning on shooting from the stands?

I was looking into getting in some tennis and maybe softball too, going to work on those credentials tomorrow

[lazuras_dc]

Yes just shoot from stands, I don't think I can get credentials... I have a 70-200 should be decent depending on where im sitting. definitely good for tennis and softball (vantage point may not be great from stands), but i'll have to make do.

Hey All, basically, you can stand anywhere you want along the field walls...within reason. You are not required to stand in the fenced photo area. Exposure is about 1/500th, 2.8, 3200 and darker in many places (especially home plate and the outfield). If you are going to be transmitting, get there early, press seating is a premium. More then likely there will be assigned spots for the people that have been covering the team all season and you will end up in the press overflow (aka the stands). Any other questions, just let me know.
