Carlsbad Caverns

[JimFox]

If you have never been to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, you really need to go! Especially as a photographer, it's an awesome cave system. The best I have been to. There were no restrictions with tripods or lighting. And it's huge, so despite there being a good amount of people there, you never feel like you are shoulder to shoulder.

A quick edit before I head out from Colorado back to California for Thanksgiving.

All comments are welcome,

Rare for a venue like that to not restrict tripods. Very nice capture.

Nice rendering of the caves. Have seen pictures of this place before but haven't visited.

Very nice capture, is this with ambient light? You got some great detail here.

Thanks Alan. Yeah, it's so cool, and I am looking on going back.

sure this is a cavern and you weren't just eaten by some alien with teeth in its belly?

I appreciate that Ben! Yep, that's based on their lighting. It's a well lit place.

Don't blow my alien cover.

Nice one Jim! Reminds me of a trip I took to Oregon and their cave system years ago.
