Keystone River cave

During the week before the 2005 NSS convention, we arranged a photo trip into Keystone River cave. This is the resulting imagery.

These are some impressive shots Tim, particularly the first one. Congrats on the recognition. Keep on caving.

Hi Tim, nice cave pictures!! I wonder if you could add some details of how you do the shots lit from underwater, are you using bulbs or waterproofed electronics? I've been planning to have a go at that myself any hints would be appreciated. Thanks,
Jenny

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the great pictures.Brings back some memories of
the initial trip with John Smyre.We had a big discussion of
whether the pit was over 100 feet deep or not.We were
somewhat conservative I would say. My worst memory was seeing
John crawling around trying to follow the water down through
those slick black boulders above the pit not realising it was there.
I had stayed high and to the right so I was able to warn him not
to continue. Of course we were carbide cavers and couldn't see
much anyway.
BW.

David, All of these shots were hand held up until we entered the stream passage. Then, I used a tripod on the remainder of the shots.
