These are great photos taken in a difficult environment.
It's been awhile since I visited a cave with camera in hand, but I found that the multicolor lighting (as in the first photo) that cavern operators like to use can make photography difficult. Now that I have better low light capability and a camera with adjustable color saturation, I am looking forward to visiting some caverns to try my hand again. Peter Jones, a potter and cave photographer from New England, used to offer occasional classes and workshops at Carlsbad Caverns, but I've not seen notice of any of his sessions in quite some time. I would have loved to spend a day or more with him learning "how to do it" best.

Nice! I posted some shots from Luray Caverns a while back. I found having a tripod and long exposures made all the difference. The biggest challenge I had was the guide urging me to "keep up" with the group. Keep up? Heck, I wanted to stay back and get the crowds out of the way!

Very nice shots. I visited there last year and know that they are not the easiest things to photograph.
