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

For more great stories, check out our Pinterest page ! #ewls #womencavers #speleology Black Annis Stories of Black Annis, also referred to as Cat Anna and Black Agnes, is an old blue-faced woman with one eye who has scared children for hundreds of years as the bogeywoman of Leicester. She is believed to occupy a cave located on the face of Dane Hills. Legend states that she used her cave to hide from the sun, which is believed could turn her to stone. Her cave led to a tunnel that ran all the way to Leicester Castle where she is alleged to linger in the form of a ghost. In the woods she preys on children and brings them back at her cave to drink their blood and eat their flesh. Then, she hangs their skins to dry on the branches of the oak tree outside the cave entrance until she could sew the dried skins together to use as clothes and decorate the interior of her cave. 1 2 ...
