Underground Rain

Good atmosphere in this. How does your camera cope under-ground? It must be quite wet at times. I definitely prefer it above ground on my bike, with the wind whistling through the hair that I no longer have.

I use two cameras, in wet areas I use a Olympus Waterproof P&S camera, then on some trips I will take my Nikon D70 in a waterproof Pelicase. Flashguns die regularly in the caving environment, but ebay is a good supply of s/h flashguns (max price paid £10) these are fired using infrared slaves which have a range of 500m in a cave.

Barry, I can't see the first photo of your last post. Flickr tells me it is private.

I have a real love/hate relationship with being underground. It scares me witless to go there, but I love the beauty and strangeness of a place that we can seldom see. Thanks for posting these.

I reaaly admirer people who really do caving as a sport, for me they really have a big heart...
As the 1st picture, I really like it... But if I took this picture, I would crop them and made it a portrait instead of landscape, I would crop the right side next to the person and crop half of left side part... ;D

I really love the 3rd picture, maybe if you can catch the ray of light it would be more dramatic picture..

Thanx...

It should be viewable here in this thread, it is a photo of the cave entrance from outside with a caver about to descend (slightly soft focus .

That's strange - this time I can see it.
