Well I wasn't going to take my camera as I could not be bothered to carry anything. In the end I put it in my undersuit pocket. A nice trip with Nicola Richens and friends. I think both of us trying to catch each other out with embarrassing photos.
I think I won with this one of Nikky on the pitch.
Well here is her shot of me showing how easy it is. ( Well I have had several goes at doing it one handed ).
The cave was in one of it's dryer phases so very little back scatter on I Auto.
The TG Camera ramps up the ISO on these so you get a softer effect with a little colour cast. You can muck about with Photoshop and fiddle the colour saturation but I liked it as it was.
Ladder exchange on the platform. Those yellow suits are good for photos. A bit hot in Reservoir Hole though as we have just found that there is little temperature change in TFD over a year.
A big ask just with helmet lamps on I Auto. Works sometimes though. Missing the man in the yellow suit.
Ahh. There he is ---
I rarely miss this one out.
The Milky Mountains in I Auto softer light.
Getting the phreatic pendants is never easy. Another on I Auto with a second person to the right cropped out to get a bit of balance though using his lamp.
Mending the tape hanger at the water point.
Thirsty work.
The 30,000 year old cryogenic stal. Passable macro with the TG but best to crop the image outside edges as the focus fades off.
All taken on the battered TG 2 which goes on every digging trip. ( Currently 85 trips in Vurley ). It has taken many thousands of ( mostly discarded ) images now and still works fine. I still use the TG 4 for set up stuff but this was a point and shoot trip. ( which proves it can be easily done ).
