(Cool Shot, Bob!!!)

I've been to a few astros games, and I was wondering to those of you who shoot them a bit...I know they have a person behind first base area to shoot pictures, but where else are you allowed to shoot if you are shooting for a media outlet? I took this photo from another post in here and quoted the person whose photo it was, so can you just kinda visually say where else you can shoot media wise... thanks.

There is a photo pit on each side of each dugout.

I'm assuming you have to pay for a pit pass to get into the photo pit???

That'd still be awesome.

Nope. You CANT pay for a pit pass. You have to be a recognized, working member of the media.

I shot a game there last year with one of the Chronicle photogs, he had his 2 canons in the 1st base pit and both were connected to a 3rd canon clipped on the 3rd base line pit fence so he was getting both angles of every swing. Pretty sweet setup
