Camera Obscura

The Camera Obscura (Latin expression; "camera" for 'vaulted chamber' and "obscura" for 'dark' - together 'darkened chamber') was one of the inventions that led to photography and the photo camera. The device consists of a box or room with a hole in one side. And it just makes me think of this cave that we visited. A "room with a hole in one side", hahaha.

 

Cave photography with one external flash on-camera. Not the best of options, but given the circumstances, it was as good as it could get that day. Panorama of 2 frames.

 

Exif: ISO 500 ; f/2.8 (?) ; 1/160 ; @14mm
