Catchin Air

This is what happens when I play with the big boys. About ten inches of air with my left front tire. It got scary a couple of times but the experienced guys didn't look worried. I had a blast and learned a lot about the Samurai too.

More Shasta Caverns

Some more of the really weird formations we saw.

The above cavesicle is around fifteen feet long. I took four images and stitched them together to get the whole thing in a single frame. You could make a nearly life size print from this.

I think chocolate/mocha and vanilla.

Reflection Pool

This reflection pool was especially hard to get. I finally got it by painting the walls etc. with a flashlight. There was no light in this pocket and the off camera flash just wouldn't show it right.

Don't forget to bring a flashlight.

Figure in Lake Shasta Caverns

Heather, Garry, and I were invited to photograph the cavern today with almost free reign. Lake Shasta Caverns is will be sponsoring a photo contest in the near future so we did a trial run today for them.

There is so much to photograph there it's almost hard to decide where to start. Some doesn't work out and some is fantastic. Obviously lighting is the hardest to figure out because of the darkness, some incandescent, and a little LED lighting.

I'm sure the guides have given this figure a name but I don't know what it is. I'll post more soon.
