This is intended as a practical session and we will be heading down to an easy part of a local cave to experiment with flashes and continuous lighting. I will be bringing plenty of kit, so having your own is not necessary, but if you bring it, expect to use it! The practical will be followed by a short debrief around a laptop when we will have a look at the results from our trip and how to get the best out of them with a little post processing.
