Its length is 739ft and 369ft wide. This room would prove to be our greatest challenge. Five cameras on tripods were set up to capture the room as it was about to be lit. Chris operates differently than most cave photographers as he would prefer to run the main light as opposed to operating his camera. Curtis ends up running Chris s camera as well as his own plus operating the radio at the same time.
Communication is of the utmost importance in the large echoing chambers.
Radio communication between all cameras and all flashes must be exact so no wasted shots are made. The room went dark and silent. Mechanical clicks became extremely loud as the sound of five shutters opening lurked in the darkness. Massive arrays of light bounced across the room and then lastly Chris fired a Mazda . We reloaded the bulbs and prepared to do it again.
