Dan Cattermole
Dan Down - The Steampunk Womble
Either way, both astonishing!
Flash photog was not aloud in the bat cave, you could get right up close and personal with these lovely creatures, they just flew around you too.
The cave was almost complete darkness, there was JUST enough light to let people see where they were going, that was it.
People were not bothering with photos on their cameras being so reliant on flash in these conditions. Some I noticed give it a go on their smart phones and muttered... "It's too dark"....
I cranked up the ISO to 6400, f/2, 1/30th sec, and only took these two shots .... This all on my Fuj, then walked out smiling past those who had failed, smug as a dog can be.

Processed straight to JPEG on the camera with a boost of noise reduction.
I don't think I've ever posted a shot with such high ISO, let alone been impressed with it.
Thanks for looking
