This is a very difficult exposure. It was shot on a 4x5 camera with a normal lens on Ilford Delta 100. I had to use f64 to get everything in focus from near to far. I couldn't use any movements because that would throw the top rocks out of focus. I was about 4 meters into the pile. the light was very dim with the waterfall being the only source of light, with faint light coming from the back. The waterfall metered 16 seconds while the dark water to left metered 27 minutes! I settled on 6 minutes but had to increase my time due to reciprocity failure to 15 minutes.
I am glad it turned out just the way i wanted it.

Agreed, great shot! I'm surprised your meter could meter at all it's obviously very dark.Quote:

The walls are like 6 stories buildings. you can only drive for about a mile then you have to continue on foot. there is a small restaurant on a small area above dangerous levels. it is very dramatic getting into the place. there are four valleys that pour into this one. if you see a cloud you should run for it. it takes a few hours for a strong stream to build up. out cars, people and huge rocks. water springs from the bed of the valley which means the stream has no where to go but forward taking out cars, trees, people and huge rocks. this cavity is a result of the rocks that drifted in the valley or brook from the walls. they pile on top of each other creating something like this. i once went deep into the valley until i reached an area where i could not pass except through diving under a huge rock for about 6 or 7 meters. i could see light from the other end under the big rock. i did not have the guts to attempt that dive. it took me a couple of hours to come back to my car. contemplating on that later. i don't think i have time to go back to my car if it rains. i think it is best to climb up but climbing up is not easy if at all possible. On my second visit things have changed. i vividly remember the place. this cavity was filled with water. so the place is forever changing making it fun to photograph.Quote:

thanks .. a trusty sekonic 758. i would love to use this meter to its fullest. i am thinking of building film profiles for it. despite the fact that sekonic says that this feature is only for digital. i am using a hybrid process.Quote:
