The cave at the Italian border Date: 10.10.2009 published: 18.10.2009 length: 4:11 views: 69 |
| Description: Short film is composed of impressions from a caving trip in early October 2009 to the Slovenian karst region near the Slovenian-Italian border at Sežana. Between the storms a window of fair weather opened up and made the trip possible. There were three participants, Riko and Rok Grecs, who both knew the cave well and the author of the film (Primož Jakopin) as a guest. The entrance of the cave is situated at the bottom of a wall in a shallow doline, in a sparse oak forest. The main intention of the trip, photography of the cave, was not accomplished in full, as the short time did not permit to explore all the camcorder's photo capabilities. The camera, Canon HF S 100, could not focus properly on a single strong light source such as the light on the caver's helmet, and the on camera flash did not fire the optical triggers on external strobes. Yet the trip resulted in this short film. The experience, gathered during the trip and the later afterthoughts, could however lead to better further experiments with cave photography using the Canon HF S 100. |

Canon HF S100 Low Light Test in a Water Cave Date: 27.5.2009 published: 7.6.2009 length: 5:27 views: 2,792 |
| Description: Canon HF S 100 video camera has been tested at the first three lakes of Križna jama, Cave of 22 Lakes, probably Slovenia's most cherished show cave. 4 standard, non-LED 12 V bulbs, 2 x 75 W and 2 x 50 W, sealed lead-acid battery powered, were the main source of illumination. They were supported by 20/40 W and 10/20 W headlights. The camera settings were: Cine mode, 24 P, no gain limit, autofocus. In large open spaces such as the first cave lake, with little or no side wall reflections, at distances over 5 meters supplied static illumination proved inadequate. Trailing the target with light would be required. In smaller spaces and at closer distances more reasonable results were obtained, even contre-jour was possible. The camera itself is small and light enough to allow easy portability, its screen viewfinder appropriately bright for framing, autofocus adequate. The film was made by Primož Jakopin with the support of Alojz Troha.Next test, in a more difficult, less clean cave environment, will be performed in Newfoundcave, Najdena jama. |

| Description: Led Lenser X21 900 lumen flashlight has been tested by Primož Jakopin as a source of movie illumination in a medium-sized horizontal cave on the northern rim of Planinsko polje, not far from Postojna, Slovenia.
