West Virgina cave pictures. West Virgina misc. Cave Photography Here are some general comments about taking photos in caves. It's useable, but negative film is much more forgiving. The faster a is, the more it stretches the contrast of the pictures.
Faster film is also more grainy.
A flash is only good for relatively close formations. But this is often the only thing that you can use on guided tours and they often don't allow the use of tripods or even monopods. Yes you can use candles as a light source. In my West Virgina cavern pictures you will see what a 60 second exposure time does to candles and headlights. Tripod, extra film and practice changing it quickly so that you don't get dirt into the camera body, shutter release so that you don't have to hold the shutter button.
