Ben's Cavern

Been down here in GB for a month. Weather has been less than ideal, but better than the east coast of the U.S. Here are a few I took yesterday at Ben's.

400iso, 8sec shutter, rear curtain sync

Looks like a great place for some modeling work, very clear. What about the orange / red light?

And what is the water temp?

That final one is a beaut!

I was surfing looking at underwater images and thinking how difficult it is to create "different" images.

Then I saw these! Love the effect of light on the speloetherms, and the swimming diver is great!

Water temp 72 above the halocline year-round, 75 below the halocline. The light is simply the strobe shot up into (image 1) and through (image 2) the stalactite. No filters. I guess it is the combo of the strobe color & crystals, but I'm not a geologist so...

Thanks Alex and Adam. It is a beautiful cavern and I had a brave model.

That last shot is awesome. WOW!!!

It is a beautiful cavern and I had a brave model.

Fantastic picture! (and a cold model)

Fantastic! I too am really impressed - especially that last shot. It adds context and size to the scene to have a human.

Cheers

Yes great last shot well done.

Awesome shots Matt

the last one is really fantastic, pretty colours and good light, the human form is the ten point detail

Outstanding!!
