Tips for Taking Game Photos in Tiger Stadium
Posted on 8/9/12 at 3:26 pm

I'm looking for tips from Jeff and a few others who regularly take game photos of games. How do you do it? Do you have a field pass or just great seats and a great lense? Do you creep around during the games?
I finally bought I decent camera in the "offseason" and want to flex my artistic muscle this year as y'all take some amazing shots.
I see see hanging around at field level before games but it seems difficult to move around during the games. Just curious. TIA

Helps if you have one of these:
Tips:
Go to the North West corner, field level. There is a gate there that the band goes through. Before the game, wait for a large group of people (TAF vip's, recruits, etc. going through that gate. Turn your hat around backwards like a real photographer, and be looking down at your camera, like you are fooling with the settings, and just walk through. Then you can go immediately to the left to the tunnel where the team comes out.)
Jeff's daughter was a cheerleader, so she was his field pass
. I used to just walk through using the above method, but got busted during the WVA game and haven't tried again because I don't want to go to jail.
ETA: Get a Nikon, Bruh.

They make them specifically for Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc.

Just apply for press credentials... Start a blog website and boom! You're part of "the media"... Bring knee pads too because they don't let the media stand in the endzones, you have to kneel.

My brother actually works for the newspaper with the highest circulation in the nation, I'll see what I can do.

It's real easy to get credentialed... Trust me I work for the dreaded media... If the weatherman can get a press pass then so can you if you have contacts

I'd recommend not trying to sneak things into the stadium you aren't supposed to have, or trying to gain access to areas you aren't supposed to be (or don't have proper credentials to access).
Forget getting decent action shots at night games unless you want to fork 5k for a camera body or an equal (or greater) amount on body+lens.
Even with the right equipment the lighting gets a little bit checkerboard in tiger stadium at night (albeit worlds better then your avg. venue), so be prepared to change exposure on the fly as the motion moves in and out of light.
So if your interested in photography, I wouldn't bother trying to shoot at the games unless you can get credentialed. If you just want to take your own photos of the games take any of already mentioned advice that won't get you in trouble.
