Posted by -insertnamehere- Here's a few I shot at a Draining meet-up I organized in Denver. (cross-posted from the Four Corners local forum, but I think they belong here too) ...it's hard to shoot long exposures with 11 people running around in a drain, but it made for some interesting results!

Any idea who did the Cave Clan tag on the wall?

oh great, he put watermarks across each photo

That's pretty cool. Dare I take a trip down to SuperCheap Auto and further indulge my tacky tendencies?

I have found Autobarn to be slightly cheaper than 'SuperCheap'.

..and even cheaper on ebay, but I've never been patient

I used to have something like in my computer case..lasted a few years too. I guess I have to DIY the battery tho.

^That was the type I first used. But I find them flimsy and tend to chew through batteries.

Best to get the (car) neon cathode (my preference)

They say that your first trip with a Quark RGB is the most colorful...

Indeed!

I find my camera does better with the colours, particulary blue, if I switch back to white for a bit as well.

Gah. I need a quark RGB. These are awesome! Especially the ice one. Those shadows are killer.

My friend and I made a quick escapade to the local drain we lovingly call "Slip and Slide" for an art class of his. He needed a portrait shot to paint, and what else better to paint than some light painting?









I think he is going to paint the last one.

On a side note, I really need a waterproof camera case for drains like this....

Second one is best, imo. Seems like something is about to happen.

Canon PowerShot S5 IS + CHDK = I get addicted. Over 4 dark time trips to my most photographed location (abandoned farm) in 1,5 week... My selection from there (I did post most of these under the other topic before, so part of these may be familiar, sorry):

Holy smokes, nice lighting and composition in these shots. Pardon my ignorance, but what's CHDK stand for?
