Tabitha Reports on LED Flash Photography in Caves


From what I have read, your going to want flashes that photographers call “slave flashes.” When one flash goes off, it will set off the other flash at the same time. A few brands that I have found after doing some research has been YONGNUO OEM YN-560 III and RF-603 radio triggers. They have a smaller, lighter flash that will hopefully be reliable are radio triggers. They are powered by AAA cell rather than a 12V battery.  That way its easier to change the batteries underground if they run down. However, finding the right flash is also trial and error. Another brand of flash that I keep reading about is the Firefly slave. It seems to be the most popular. Granted I am still having a hard time finding them myself but I know you need up to four slave flashes. I have heard of people making their own LED flash. I’ll post later with how some were made for those of you wanting to learn but on a budget. Maybe I’ll try this for now. Who knows? I might end up with some really cool results! Check out Paul Fretwell BlogSpot if you want to learn more about photography equipment. I would love to hear how some of you all started out in to cave photography and how you were able to Improve your skills. #ewls #womencavers #speleology
