Awesome photo Peter.

If only my eyes could see what my camera sees.............

 

[NorthStar]

Cameras see better details than the human eyes Gregg?
What if we were able to develop and expose the pictures of what human eyes (20/20 vision) see?
Would the photos be much more natural?

 

[gfroman]

Extremely dark in these caverns.
So if I exposed to what my eyes saw, the photo would be very dark - Who wants to see that??

 

[NorthStar]

I see

The camera uses a light flash. You'd need to bring your own adequate lightning in that cavern...that would probably require a LOTS of lights...and powerful lights too, and a light generator. Much easier to use the proper camera, then our eyes can see the results afterwards...magic.

I'm having a flash ...

do you shoot with existing light only or do you use filters over the lens to achieve your results

 

[gfroman]

Camera is set to manual exposure, manual focus.
Only filter I use is a polarizer.
Existing light, never use a flash.
Thanks!

You should publish a book of your photos. What light meter do you use

 

[gfroman]

Thanks for the compliments!
I just use the meter in my Nikon D850 (sometimes set to Spot Meter).

 

[steve williams]

do I assume you use a tripod and those are timed exposures like your night sky photos

 

[gfroman]

Typically always have my tripod with me, although many shots are just handheld.
Most of my photography is landscape, so I will use a tripod for those setup shots where I have time to compose/wait for good light/etc.
Thanks.

First time I've seen your images. You have a great eye and excellent technique- better than many of the pros I've seen.
Congratulations
