As a Cave-Troll (but without the immense height or great strength) in a human world, I often find the bright light of the sun too harsh for my sensitive eyes and, as a consequence, enjoy retreating to caves such as this one in Camuy, Puerto Rico. This shot was taken looking back out as we entered the underground system. Inner-cave photographs are often very difficult to take, and require very long shutter speeds that can't be hand-held. For most pictures in the cave I just set the auto-timer and positioned the camera on the ground. Of course, it was a little moist in the cave but it was moist almost everywhere in Puerto Rico. Sadly, I missed most of the tour because I had to stay way back and wait for the humans to leave the area before I could get proper pictures but it was still very interesting and I felt very comfortable there reconnecting with my trollish roots. Fortunately the tour didn't delve too deep because we all know what happens when you do. (December 1, 2007, Sony DSLR-A100, 18mm, f/3.5, 1/30, ISO 400)
