Why 'a different post'?
If you don't like waffle then scroll down now.
Photos of tunnels and caves can tend to look very similar. My images would by and large look like those that Newage has already posted. We did of course take different photos, different views, slightly different lighting. For a few however we worked together (our dad had gone elsewhere - I don't think he thinks we take this exploration seriously enough sometimes) with a view to getting something that would stand out as a bit different to the norm. Luckily we both carry a range of different light sources for just this kind of occasion.
With this in mind I thought it might be interesting to briefly show how we arrived at one of the images. I make no excuses for the dark images...it was dark and we like dark ;-)
We chose a spot and lit in fairly normally to see what features we wanted to try an accentuate. From that we decided to use:
some light falling out of the tunnel - this would be provided by some magnetic LED uplighters.
some coloured light on the refelective roof - provided by a lenser hidden from view pointing upwards
Looking good we thought. Let's add some low angle light to give the floor some structure - cue Newage and (I think) another lenser.
Cooking on gas now but lets bring out some of the reflective areas of the wall. My turn to add a few seconds with another lenser. So this was our final photo.
A few other images just for the jazz.
Background was fluffy out of view to give me a 'daylight' look.
The light at the end of the tunnel was Newage about to head back up the incline.
Several areas look as though they have at some point been used to store water (rheostat room roof in the background)
...and out we go
