Portraits
Underground
This page provides a
selection of portraits in a cave environment, taken by the
webmaster during his active caving days! The camera used in most
cases was a Nikon EM 35mm SLR camera fitted with a 28mm Nikon
lens, and loaded with Agfa CT21 colour reversal film. A flash gun
was synchronised with the camera shutter and mounted on the
camera or on an extension bar to one side of the camera. An
additional flash gun was almost always employed, and was
triggered from the main flash via a "slave" sensor. The
equipment was carried underground in a 6" ammo box lined
with closed-cell foam. A dry cloth was always kept in the top of
the box to wipe hands and thereby minimise that scourge of cave
photography, the steaming photographer!
