Big Stopes

This was my first attempt at anywhere quite so huge underground and is part of the stoped out vein at a Derbyshire Calcite Mine.

It was quite a problematic shot, in that I did not want to leave the shutter open whilst the flash holders moved as they would leave a light trail.
My first attempt was using the K20d's Multi exposure mode which I thought would be an ideal solution, I set it on 9 exposures but I dont think it did more than about 3 ??
So I then tried making several exposures and have merged them in PS using layer masks.
I think I have lots of work to do to get it right and so will be going back to take more photographs.

Nice shot Steve,
I find all your cave shots are great to look at as I am one of them that don't feel comfortable underground..

Thanks Tel, but Im sure you would be okay down there
