Made Of Stone.

Loving the mid-week lp sessions of late and all three of us bagged shots we were chuffed with in a couple of hours shooting.

Tonight took me to the cave in Castlefield with Chris T and Rich K and after a little wait for it to get dark enough I cracked on. Following my recent obsession with this type of shot there was just enough light in the sky to blow it out for the first part of the exposure. Once happy with the pose and exposure both inside and outside the cave it was time to put it together in one shot. Tokina on 16mm and Chris kindly fired the shutter then after 1 second replaced the lens cap. Refocused and zoomed out to 11mm then took the camera into the cave to Rich's tripod and exposed him through the misty atmosphere, back-lit with Chris T's wonderful Led Lenser X21r.

A superb night and awesome to see the shots on the back of their cameras. Everyone happy.

Shot during a single long exposure in complete darkness.

This was number 215 of my 366.
