This is a very quick n nasty composite. I was trying out a Flashgun based technique, and didn't honestly expect to get anything as a keeper, hence the direct lights into the lens, which we usually avoid. It's also shot in a far smaller chamber than we usually pick for photography.

The Roof is the base of a prehistoric sea floor, and the Corrugation is formed by wave action. The Slate just cleaves away from it, forming a unusual looking natural ceiling to the chamber.


20" EOS 400D, Pentacon 30/3.5 @f8, 550EX, 420EZ.

Looks like an interesting place to shoot. Nice atmosphere. I quite like the effect of the chap holding the bright light. I'd definitely be interested to see more shots from underground chambers.

I do too! The texture of the roof caught my eyes first, and then I looked down and saw that light. I felt almost as if my eyes had adjusted to the dark - the light below really would seem bright! Cool

@Scheimpflug - We usually use light painting to expose shots underground. After firing off a lot of full power flashes on 2 seperate 20 second exposures, our eyes took 10 mins or so to adjust back to the level you need to walk around in there safely.

@yebisu - A lot of my photography is shot underground these days., feel free to check out my Flickr, most of the underground shots I can share are on there.

I'll bear in mind the comments about seeing the explorer holding the light (actually multiple flashes), as I now have an idea for my shoot next week in a far larger mine.

@Orio - Thanks!
