Master cave photography with techniques for flash placement, long exposures, and documenting formations in total darkness.
Scout formations respecting rigging paths and no-touch zones.
Position slaved flashes or light painters away from formations.
Shoot multiple exposures for blending if high dynamic range.
Verify no mud tracked onto formations and gear removed.
Standard practices and recommended approaches for cave photography.
One finger oil stain stops formation growth forever — never touch.
Clean boots between zones — mud stains white formations permanently.
Light painting from wrong angle flattens — test before final shot.
