The shoot was done mainly with the XZ-2 while some wider images required the E-3 + SWD14-60mm.
The last time I visited the Jenolan Caves in the Blue Mountains, NSW was with my parents, 75 years ago.
1.
The approach to the caves is by way of a long narrow winding road that descends seemingly forever into a deep valley.
2.
One's first view of it is quite awesome. Surprisingly the narrow road is swallowed by the mouth of the cave.
3.
It is actually a vast tunnel through which the road emerges to reveal a magnificent hotel.
4.
Ticket holders assemble at the base of steps leading to the entrance of one of the caves - an impressive start to the tour.
5.
There are a dozen or so different tours to various parts of the vast system of the caves, a new ticket must be purchased for each.
6.
But the two hours tour of the Imperial Cave was enough for one day. The XZ-2 with it's superfast F1.8 lens was master of the very low light situation.
7.
The guide led us down a narrow steep stairs into the bowels of the Earth to a magical subterranean river, shades of Journey to the Centre of the Earth.
8.
A tour consists of about 20 people. The guide gave a progressive commentary on each feature as we moved along.
9.
As usual I was way too busy taking pictures to be paying attention. So if you'd like to know more, Wikipedia covers it all!
