After discovering the beauty of the underground world, I began the daunting challenge of cave photography using a digital camera. The nature of the cave environment presents its own complications. First there is the task of keeping your equipment whole, clean and dry throughout the trip. Carrying your equipment in the packaging required ,slows your progress and can be cumbersome at times. Lighting is a key issue in this dark and damp environment. After getting very nice results using a digital camera, I decided to try a hand at 35mm photography underground. I was unable to get underground for some time after purchasing my 35mm camera. While waiting to take my camera into a cave I began working on ways improve my lighting system. Then I began to take my camera along with me whenever I was hiking. During this time I became more familiar with 35mm photography and the kind of photography I could take using a macro lens. When I was finally was able to go underground, I used the improved lighting system and experience to produce photographs that reflect the adventure of caving along with examples of formations and the unique environment found in caves. http://www.smugmug.com/img/feed-icon.png Sat, 03 Jul 2004 14:31:43 -0700 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:05:12 -0700 http://www.smugmug.com/ Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
