My skills as a welder are rivaled only by my skills as a diplomat and hostage negotiator, so today seemed like a good opportunity to practice one of the three.
It proved quite difficult to get a good shot of what was going on and while I'm not sure that I'm happy with the end result I do quite like the smoke...and it's sort of in keeping with my recently discovered fire fetish...
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
Bahahaha!! LOVE this! So glad you didn't get to practice hostage negotiator today!! :) This shot is AWESOME!! Love the sparks! I see a face in the smoke!!! Fav!
@luvmynynix@graemestevens I thought at first this was you in hostage negotiator mode - "Give them back now or we'll nuke the s**t out of you"! Either way, it's a stunning image... could even be something faraway in the night sky.
@daneau thanks very much @longexposure thanks, but it sounded more like I was trying to scramble them to start with! @wenbow thank you @kaharris thanks Kirsty @duprejr thank you, always appreciated
@ceilidh thank you @golftragic tripod, timer with continuous shooting, fiddle with settings, push button, start welding, really really hope for the best, fail and start over... I'm afraid this one is just a happy accident!!!
@jess1204 Thanks - I work for BOC, which supplies welding equipment and industrial, scientific and medical gas as well as safety equipment...I managed to get my hands on a small welder 10 months ago with the intention of a bit of sculpture work out of scrap metal...as yet, nothing has happened with the exception of some practice runs!!!
