I did some caving photography recently in public-closed caves. It's actually pretty tricky to shot in pitch-dark dirty rocky tunnels and halls. You need somebody to operate off-camera lights, somebody as a model to act as a measure and a lot of patience with that crew.

Few examples:


What do you think?

Sahko,

Love the shots. Good exposure and lighting considering the difficulties of the subject matter. Is that you in the pictures?

Yes, the exposure is pretty difficult, just guess and try. I admire those who were shooting something like this on film.

Incredible shots. Too bad you couldn't get those in for the NG or PWL challenges.

I used to do some caving years ago. I was never able to get decent pix. Yours are excellent.

I was going to say, "tell that dude to step out of frame," but he's your light source. Great pics.

Well, that's the thing in caving photography, you need that person there, otherwise you couldn't tell if that dripstone or tunnel is one foot or hundred feet high.
