Andrew Bosman in reply to Bill Fonseca’s comment, 6 months ago

Yes Bill, this is a few years old and I didn’t have the 5d but the poor old 300d has copped a flogging and yes I was in the water up to my chest!

Where’s your sense of adventure Shaz?
Adrian Carmody, 6 months ago

I love the photo, but I must admit… it inspired a mild panic attack
Rhana Griffin, 6 months ago

Ahhh yeah… nice shot Boz. Completely MENTAL but nice shot ;)
Andrew Bosman, 6 months ago

You guys are all big sooks….. my daughter (who was ten at the time) was in this cave with us!
Globalphotos, 6 months ago

Yes, I’d be into that as long as we could abseil into it :D But can you heat the water a little… pls :))

Great shot, love their expressions.
Hans Kawitzki, 6 months ago

Brrrrr nice shot but I’m suprised it took a team of 3 to take this shot not counting the 2 in the picture
Carmen Cilliers, 6 months ago

No!

And not a place I’d like to be taking photos either so I applaud your tenacity and perseverence! It’s quite a dramatic image.
Andrew Bosman in reply to Hans Kawitzki’s comment, 6 months ago

It didn’t really Hans…... I was just mentioning our kids who were looking on and laughing while we were shooting this….. they thought we were nuts!!
Hans Kawitzki, 6 months ago

Andrew,the main thing was you all had a lot of fun and you came up with a top notch image
Andrew Bosman in reply to Hans Kawitzki’s comment, 6 months ago

Thanks Hans, we always have fun and thanks for your kind words.

I’m claustrophobic Boz. Also arachnapobic – hence my sudden dislike for your new avatar. LOL.
Will Barton, 6 months ago

Great shot Boz! I know Hodgo, he (or used to, don’t know if he still does) lives just down the road from my parents.

You can almost see the effect of the cold water on the nether regions in their faces, classic.
Caroline Gorka, 6 months ago

Excellent !
Denis Fox, 6 months ago

bodymechanic, 6 months ago

Andrew Bosman in reply to bodymechanic’s comment, 6 months ago

The water was about 8Deg C but I reckon it’s colder!

Marion Chapman, 4 months ago
