A study of FIRST Robotics Pit Photography. While at the FIRST robotics Michigan State Championship in mid April at Saginaw Valley State University I took some time in the pits to make single photographs of what I thought an iconic view of each pit. It was a bit of a photographic challenge not to shoot the same thing and to really look at what was unique in each pit. I simplified my challenge by only using my 85mm lens and then converting all the images to black and white.
