MIG Welding: A Close Up


MIG Welding: A Close Up, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Where as this is not a "macro" photo, it is a close up photo of a craftsman using a MIG welding gun to finish fabricating the metal together. I love the little sparks flying all over the place and the smoke rising out from in between the two pieces of metal. The bright arc lights up the interior of the item so he can see what he is welding through his helmet. You can see marks and scars on the table from many years of work being done on it.

Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: f/5.6
