Photos of Niah Caves

As Janice has mentioned, we went to Niah yesterday and really sweat ourselves! I took the opportunity to take some pictures...
Entrance to the Great cave
Inside the Great Cave, there is this fantastic looking ray of light beaming from the top through a hole...
... and lighting up this huge rock beneath!

More photos to follow. Please comment if any.

wow...i like the second one. very nice, how did you take the pic?wat settings did u use? if not mistaken, the condition of the cave at that spot is very dark right?

Gabriel, you are right. The place is indeed very dark and the strong light would make all the details in the darker part to disappear. It is very difficult to take it like this without tripod.
I took this picture with camera handheld. To cut a long story short, I took it raw and "adjusted" it in Lightroom (LR) using "fill". After having my camera for more than a year, this is the first time I do adjustment using LR to good advantage.
am: ya, tired after so many hours of walking. I thought my legs can carry me no more!

Siang Ing, thanks for your introduction. Esther is coming back next weekend. I will have to find out whether she is interested to go. Only then I will decide. If she won't go, then this trip will not materialized.
