This photo was taken close by the location of yesterday’s flowstone photo. One feature in this photo that I remain curious about is the small curtain-like calcite growth from the floor that separates the pools of water. My inner geologist and caver don’t have answers for that one so any ideas would be appreciated.
If I were shooting this today, I’d try to get a person or something else in the shot to provide some scale. I’d also seek to use off-camera flash from the side the provide more interesting shadows that better emphasize the wonderful textures of this flowstone.
As you walk around a bend in the trail on your way of of Deer Cave, you’re presented with this profile of Abraham Lincoln.
The shot below is perhaps the classic Deer Cave shot. Mine is actually a seven-shot HDR – seven slides scanned and merged in Photomatix Pro.
As we went further into the massive passage that is Deer Cave, I turned back and go this shot back to the entrance.
Deer Cave boasts some impressive measurements – passage length of over 4 kilometers with a one kilometer stretch with a width of 174 m and a height of 122 m. The main entrance (photo below) has been measured at 146 m. Indeed, you can get an idea of the scale from the two men that appear in the photo.
