Before flashbulbs appeared on the scene magnesium flares were the main (and best) light source for cave photography. Long before my time, of course (I started caving in 1975), but I've been on at least two trips where we used Md flares for photos. As Alan said - it's pretty impressive!

OOoooo I am definitely bringing flares next time- the > photography possibilities alone! Hmmm, interesting. Why I havn't seen one tells me either no one has tried or the last one who tried choked on the smoke and did not get a good shot or got a good shot of a lot of smoke and no cave. I wonder what the flare smoke contains? Carcinogens, CO2, CO, Ozone, etc ? I'd hate to be in a cave when someone lights one of these up and we would choke on the smoke. -- Lyndon Tiu --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
