Photographer’s Note

i have no idea what i was thinking when i took my camera with me on this 8 hour(!) subterranean trip. it's an exhausting exercise (and i'm not in bad shape) and not a lot of photo ops :-) noteworthy here is the guide with the very heavy oil lamp. he was holding it with one hand (often giving us the other for a pull) on his shoulder and bounced around, up and down hills and rocks, in and out of holes with amazing ease, especially considering he was wearing flip flops. the dip in some crystal clear pools midway was unforgetable.

Szia Mark,
Excellent shot! The camera AlWAYS has to be our shadow... where we go, it goes, if there is light at all. And in this shot, there is a lot, and very dramatic. What i also like is the oval shapes enclosed by the arms and by the cave's walls, in a rhythmic pattern. Very well seen!

excellent mark. You create a very christic image from the man with his arms as a cross, the lighting and the stance of the man in the background, as you can see in paintings, but all this interrupted by the USA sign/sport shirt. Really interesting atmosphere you achieved here
amicalement, michel
