In cave
photography you can't be alone. You need help in your
work. You need a friend, better if two, that have with
them a flash. You call him flashman. He must do
everything you tell him, becouse you make the photos and
you are seeing what picture you want to take. He really
must be your friend and in most cases he will hate you
at the end of the day! It is important to know all
the methods used to illuminate caves with flashes.
In many cases more flashes you use, the better will be
the photos. Two methods can be used. One is the open
flash method. It consists in having your camera in B
position and on a tripod. In this position all the
flashman let there flashes on and after that the B
position can be closed. Another method is to use a flash on
your camera and have all flashman with slave flashes.
When you take the picture all the flashes will
light up simultaneously. This is the method I
prefer, it is better controled by you. The
pictures in this page show you all the methods to
use in a hypothetical tunnel. |
