Submitter's name:	Jim Caldwell
Title:	Underground River
Gear used:	OM-2n with 35-70 f/4 and T32 flash (bounced)
Diaphragm:	f/5.6
Shutter speed:	1/60
Film used:	Provia 100F
Technical information:	Angled the T32 up slightly to try to bounce as much light from the cave to avoid overexposing the people and canoes.
Subject information:	This is an underground river in Belize that was once a sacred site to the ancient Maya. I wanted to "paint" a Mayan temple after dark using numerous flash exposures, but was not able to arrange a tour after dark. So, I had to settle for this one for my TOPE entry!

This shot works very well and was do-able, what I mean to say us that the idea alone of having to lightpaint a complete Mayan temple already make me tired :)

Great shot, Would easily accompany an in-depth story of a cave-expedition in NG for instance.
