Well-known member
Took our new recruit ( an experienced caver ) into WL and Shatter Cave yesterday. All part of the softening up proceedure before he gets inserted into Jill's Slither. ( Poor Jill ). He likes to have photos of his trips so I duly oblige whilst he takes a few of his own. His memory card was found to be full shortly into the trip. Ah a point worth checking.
With cave photography you might have to arrive at a compromise. Too much prep. for shots can leave your helpers bored so I kept it simple.
Kit.
Long extension pole for those unique high level views.
The old TG 2 Camera.
Skyray LED high output hand torch for spot and backlight.
Yongnuo slave flash.
Camera flash exclusion box to eliminate back scatter.
Lens and hand cloths.
WL Cave.
A confined space so P Auto . 5.6 at 200 ISO.

320 ISO f2. I tighter aperture would have helped but P Auto with Yongnuo back flash.
