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

Sioux Legend of the Old Woman in the Cave

According to Sioux legend, as told by Chief Lost Feather, there is a secret and mysterious cave that is located on the West Mountain (near Hot Springs, Arkansas).  There's an old woman and a dog that have been living in this cave for many generations. The old woman never grows any older.  The dog never ages, either.  They both stay exactly the same, and they have since anybody can remember. The old woman spends her days weaving a rug.  She is using pine needles that she has collected in the nearby pine forest.  The old woman has been weaving now for many centuries, and yet the rug never gets any bigger. The dog watches his mistress weave through narrow slits in his eyes as he appears to just nap in the corner. Occasionally the old woman puts the rug down and leaves it while she goes to stir the pot of soup that she has cooking on a fire at the mouth of the cave.  The soup has probably been cooking for several centuries, as well.  The minute the old w...
