As the theme was buzzing in my mind, and I wanted to not delay it till the last moment, I decided to be in the lookout for anything that would suit. I was returning from a small party, and had my camera on me, when I located this welding shop. Though, it was drizzling, I made a pit stop for some 10 minutes. Then I had to rush back home to save my camera, as it started raining heavily.
Problem with these shots is that lens flares badly in such sharp light, it is difficult to get the exposure right, and your own eyes hurt if you watch for a little longer time. This is one of the 4 shorts that I took in quick succession while this welder was at work. Hope people at DPC like it. :-).

Really like it .Tried this myself earlier , best thing to do is have the actual ark behind something.
Oh and just so you all know, his hand would be getting all kinds of radiation all the way up to GAMMA radiation from not using a glove when welding.
So not really "safety" but it looks better so whats a little hand skin cancer if it gets a good shot LOL
Post: Ah! Feels nice to be in the front page. :-). Thank you everyone for your votes, and even more for the lovely and very useful comments that you make.
Great photo, but it feels a tad dark. I also know how difficult it must have been to get an exposure of the welder without being over exposed, so I can't complain about the photo being dark. I also like texture of the metal and the plat form he is working on.
