Wise comments, Jay. I've done what you suggest, and have SOME success in caves, but thatnks to the digital world can usually salvage a few images. This is stunning. (I have anti-shake on my Konica-Minolta, but it doesn't always behave!) Vicki

Hello Vicki. Nope, I didn't use a tripod. My camera has vibration reduction :) I think one thing that helps if you cant lean up against or prop your arms on something is to not hold your arms out but keep your elbows to your body with your forearms out. Even that can help reduce the shakes. You'll have to look down at the monitor on your camera, but I think its worth it not to have blurry pics. Or at least, less chance of 'em

Beautiful image. It was nice that you didn't need a time exposure.

Beautiful, Jay. As many times as I passed that cave I never had enough time to go in - or it was too late in the day. Next time I'll stop for sure. Were you using a tripod? My cave pics always come out with coffee shakes! Vicki

What a intense looking picture with all those rock formations. So many shapes and sizes.

An interesting image, very nice, I don't think you would get me down there though.
