Carlsbad Caverns

During my recent trip to New Mexico, I couldn't resist topping off my CF cards in Carlsbad Caverns on the way home. I tried lots of different exposures, even some bounce-flash and hand-held exposures at 1/4 second. Most of my best shots were around 25 seconds or so...I set my camera down propped up by my wallet, a granola bar, and anything else I had at hand.

I hadn't had such a low-light challenge yet...let me know what you think. Also, if you have any pictures from inside caverns, please share!

Some of your photos are from too high of a viewpoint. The problem is you wallet is too thick. You're going to go have to empty it at the local camera store, I'm afraid. :wink:

An a700, an a550 and couple of a580s, plus even more lenses (Zeiss included!).
