Cave photos from Hellhole Cave in West Virginia

Postby Brian Masney » May 29, 2007 6:37 am

I posted some photos from a survey/photo trip that I was on this past Saturday in Hellhole Cave. I was able to capture some spectacular photos of the light beam that shines into the entrance during the Spring time. Here is a link to the photos:

Enjoy!

With photography... timing is everything on certain shots. Nicely done. Salon quality I'd say. :grin:

Very nice my friend. You should do a time lapse of it near the end of June.

Even though you had problems with some of the flash bulbs, the images came out great. Not having every inch of the cavern lit up like a Disney ride is a lot better IMHO. It gives more feeling of depth and size .

Keep shooting.
