I am one of those people that (oddly enough) is hesitant to take a picture if I’m not sure how it will turn out. Last weekend while in Canaan Valley West Virginia we visited SmokeHole Caverns. I finally decided to take a few shots that I wasn’t sure of. I took a few shots of the wall that actually worked well. Caves are one of those places that I’m scared to take images of because the light is random and it’s always lit with spot lights. Please note the images below.
This image turned out well with the light from the cave but the spotlights themselves had to be cropped out. Once those items were cropped out its lovely with the colors and the layers.

This image is taken from the cave floor up the wall. I used the camera flash for this image as the other lights were too high to illuminate the part of the wall I wanted to focus on. As the camera flash is not idea you can clearly see the shadows created from the imperfections of the wall. Those some of the shadows add to the image, some also distract from the image. Some additional cropping could assist in correcting this issue.

I and also my friends appeared to be examining the great information from the blog and immediately I got a horrible feeling I had not thanked the site owner for those secrets. These people are actually for that reason glad to learn them and have now really been enjoying them. We appreciate you turning out to be very thoughtful and for making a decision on this sort of really good tips most people are really eager to be informed on. My sincere apologies for not expressing appreciation to sooner.
Hi there great website! Does running a blog similar to this require a great deal of work? I have virtually no knowledge of computer programming however I was hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyhow, if you have any suggestions or tips for new blog owners please share. I understand this is off topic nevertheless I simply needed to ask. Many thanks!
You can always ask questions, that is what I’m here for. We are all learning so why not learn together! This site is simply a wordpress blog, I purchased my domain and a cheap linux hosting contract on go daddy. From there with a few clicks wordpress was automatically installed then I chose this theme in the many word press themes and away I went. Word press is really very easy to run and navigate for the non-programmer.
I did use to be a software engineer and now I am a Sr. Technical Manager (by day), blogger/photographer by night. If you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out and ask! Good luck!
