[quote="JohnO" post=2469]The people shots were done with a £2 (ebay) Flashgun, set off the camera fired with one of these radio controlled flash units and I hand held the camera.

For the cave shots, I had the camera mounted on a tripod with a delayed 2 second exposure I then fired one flash with the radio unit and one manually by hand,  there was a torch at the end of the tunnel but no other light source. Sleep mode can be a problem as my flash gun decided to go to sleep if I was to long between shots - lots of crawling.[/quote]

Cheers John,

I don't want to go totally over to flash guns. However I would like to incorporate them into larger slate chambers, using them in conjunction with light painting. I'm hopefully coming up with John Nicholson next week, so I will have a chat to you in the pub about it.

Superb photos, really good. The flash technique is very effective and works so well. A rather too scary place for me as a ME, though.:ohmy:
