Peak Cavern, Derbyshire |
Peak Cavern, Derbyshire is well known for it's massive
cave entrance where ropes used to be made. The show cave behind it is a
series of fairly straightforward passages, but beyond that are immense
passages which can be explored and eventually link up with other cave
systems including the close by Speedwell Cavern show cave
The pictures are all taken with a Olympus E-500 E-series camera with a 14-42mm kit lens carried into the cave in a Pelicase which is waterproof and rugged. It has been padded with foam to absorb shocks
They are lit with a single FL-36 Flashgun directly connected to the camera via a spiral cable
The photographs were taken on a trip organized by the International Society for Spelaeological Art (ISSA) with assistance from other members of the team in holding flashguns and/or as models
