DSC08758: Welding

DSC08758: Welding, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I really like this photograph. The light from the welding illuminates the craftsman's front. The smoke from the contact is really amazing. I love the interaction of his hands and the welding rig that is taking place, how he protects one of his hands with a glove and keeps one open to get a better feel.

I love how the smoke is kind of bubbling up from the MIG lead and how the light is going at an angle over the top of the steel almost between 30-45 degrees. Very strange!

2) Front of Search: www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=

3) Back of Search: +site%3Adyxum.com&btnG=Search
