Hard to get lighting on the foreground there, maybe a crescent moon?

Nice work as always.

Glow worms eeeww!
Thanks guys!

Laurie yes I did

The first one was in complete darkness except for the red LED light on the back of the camera casting some glow on the walls, the second one my friend was walking about further ahead, meanwhile I was playing with my own lighting and exposure times to catch the worms and some detail of the cave.

Not sure if you've been there before but they're quite tricky to see at first. One it's pitch black in the tunnel so you need a torch to get around (as you can see the ground is covered in boulders and puddles and gaps and holes), then once you switch the torch off your eyes need to time to adjust before your night vision kicks in, then finally unfortunately there aren't that many glow worms around, so you do need to look around, it certainly not lit up like a christmas tree as I once ignorantly thought It's definitely worth a visit.

A fun game to play while you're there is spot the constellation, I saw the Pleiades
