Lovely shots Bassy particularly the one with the little bird in it. May be a good idea to buy a few smaller SD cards as backup, cant see any reason why any digital camera couldn't work for years to...

Hi James, there is very dim lighting in most of the caves I have visited including this one, I used an external Metz 45CL1 Hammerhead Flash for all of my cave pictures, a perfect match for the...

Thanks for looking Jim also the kind remarks.

As an ex Pawnbroker with 13 years experience I can tell you that you are not alone, I bought or loaned money to people for hundreds of cameras, it helped me get get some of the things I needed for...

Ha Ha thats funny I never thought of it looking like the inside of a mouth but you are right if you let your imagination run away with you, thanks for looking and the kind remarks.

Thanks for looking Robert, you are right regarding the temperature in the caves, it can be 40 or 110 degrees F outside but in the cave it remains a constant 58 degrees F, by golly if you go into...

I must admit I have changed a little as I have got older James, it took me about 60 years to find out I suffer from Claustrophobia, it doesn't worry me in caves though.

Only little bats live in those caves, the big bats in Oz usually hang in the trees, thanks for looking.

Thanks James, probably 1/2 a mile, you actually enter one side of a hill and exit the other side, at its deepest it is probably only 250 feet below the surface, full of little narrow walkways that...

Caving has always been one of my favorite things, these shots were taken at the Buchan Caves in Victoria Oz, camera used was a DX7590 and Metz Hammerhead Flash. Royal cave Royal cave Fairy Cave...

Very well done Bassy love the little finches , quite amazing metering from the P880 considering the sky is the background the birds are really well exposed.

Very nice shots, as a sucker for dark purple colors I have to say the first shot is my favorite, the creature crawling around inside it is an added bonus, really well done.

Lovely photos Gary and proof you don't need to spend a fortune on a camera in order to get great pictures, the first shot is my favorite.

A lovely set of photos Nick, what a great place to visit you would think you were in Europe, the P880 did a mighty job in your hands.

Your Kodak is doing a mighty job for you, I agree with James if I had taken that shot I would be happy.

Nice shots Jim, your Moon shot is up there with the best and its nice to know a Kodak was used for the picture, great stuff.

Very nice shots Warren also nice to see your Nikon produces natural looking skin tones.

Great shots Chiue, while you are in LV are you going to take the 35 mile trip out to the "Valley of Fire" National Park ?, IMO one of the most outstanding locations in Nevada.

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with all involved in the terrible Tornado that hit Oklahoma City yesterday, terrible damage and loss of life, hopefully other survivors will be found in the rubble,...

Beautiful birds and beautiful photos Dave, I am going to stick my head on the chopping block here, but really who needs a DSLR when so called  Prosumer cameras take photos like that, certainly not me.
