One from the previous batch. None are posed. It does mean that I have to anticipate things a bit like the shift change image. Usually the TG 6 and the LED torch are close by. I waited until his reflected light illuminated his face. Yes he put is glasses on later. A fall of drill dust would have suggested action which came in later images. He was just about to swop over drill bits from 11mm to the 12mm in the foreground. On I Auto with flash off we have f2 at 1/25 sec at 800 ISO. Res 4.94Mb which is enough for me as I dont shoot in RAW. RAW can tempt you into too much editing so nowadays some images look distinctly overcooked or artificial. My edits on Photoshop 18 are usually cropping, contrast and sometimes haze removal. ( the latter might need additional colour correction.) Basically I like to see things just as they appear in the cave to a caver. Too much can make it look like a show cave. I do try to resist the looking at ( gawping ) pose so common today. Anyway thats me. There is no right or wrong way unless you think of the rule of thirds. I always try to frame an image differant from the thousands you might see on Google Image. That then is your own take on the scene rather than a copy from elsewhere. As a photo historian I can actually name the photographer on some postcards without looking at the back. You could say that Frith were very formulaic. Used best light and the same long view angles along the streets. The collages are simple using Flickr and Screenshot. Funny nobody else seems to do it.

Capped erosion pillars in a remote part of Withyhill Cave. Quite similiar to the photo in the new OFD book.
