Cave Keyword: Caverns Caves

Cave Entrance 13 October 2002
Entrance of Carlsbad Caverns....
Deeper and deeper we go in.... 13 October 2002
...and darker and darker it gets....
Path to the Main Area 13 October 2002
long and winded through the darkness....
How to attract the locals.... 13 October 2002
...people come from far over to visit the beauty of the caves in Carlsbad... The posters outside the caves however just read 'Eat 500 feet underground!' in order to attract the locals to this picnic place....
Tripod required 13 October 2002
Most pictures here were exposed from 15-30 seconds....
Wonderland 13 October 2002
...made me feel like Alice....
Stalagmites and Stalagtites... 13 October 2002
...lit by flourescent lights, halogen lights and HMI lights depend on how easy it is to exchange the bulbs.... On long-term exposure, the camera gives all the types of lights a different color... To the eye, the lights all looked fairly neutral....
Former over thousands of years.... 13 October 2002
Shapes of the Stalamites....
Inside my nose 13 October 2002
I reckon this is what the inside of my nose looks like to a bacteria....
Rangers.... 13 October 2002
There was a ranger guided tour on the other side of the cave, when I shot this one... During the 20 seconds exposure, the ranger lit his flashlight over directly into the camera....
Ghost of Carlsberg 13 October 2002
Timer on 20 seconds, I rushed over and released the flash handheld onto my face.... Too bad the background was lighter than I thought, so I ended up translucent....
Getting spookier.... 13 October 2002
...just imagine bats coming out of this cave....
Another ghost of Carlsberg.... 13 October 2002
Again, I underestimated the brightness of the background... Still is quite a good picture!
Pathway 13 October 2002
This was a tricky one... The foreground is weakly lit by three separate, weakened releases from the flash during the long exposure....
Well-lit 13 October 2002
Imagine the explorers who first came here in the thirties... Just armed with a torch...
Smiling face 13 October 2002
The stalagtites end up creating sculptures of smiling girl's faces with long blond hair... Or maybe that's just my imagination....
