Near Infrared Imaging for Recording Archaeological Cave Art (3-5) (PDF 511KB)     

Dan Britton outlines how near infrared photography was used to record archaeological rock art in Dahaisi Cave, in the Indian Ocean, much of it rendered almost invisible in visible light, due to abrasion, weathering and calcite flow.

 

3D Printing of Caves Goes Mainstream (6-7) (PDF 610KB)     

Recently, 3D data has been used to generate physical cave models via 3D printing. John Rabson illustrates how this technique has been used for tourism and education.

 

A Flashbulb Moment (8-11) (PDF 930KB)     

While other cave photographers are debating the pros and cons of electronic flashguns versus continuous LED lighting, Chris Howes argues that old fashioned flashbulbs are still a valuable form of lighting. Here he provides some background before looking at the benefits of bulbs, their types and availability, and how to fire them.

Cavern Imaging using Laser-Stimulated Fluorescence (21-24) (PDF 2.6MB)     

A scanning ultraviolet laser allows long distance fluorescent targets to be photographed to create large-scale panoramas underground. It also causes fluorescence in cave formations where the effect is barely noticeable with an ordinary UV source. Thomas G. Kaye, Jessica Garcia and Michael Pittman describe how such a device was developed and used, and highlight the results achieved.
