A little while ago North Island College hired a new welding instructor and asked me to take some portraits of him in his new classroom at the Port Alberni Trades Complex. I took advantage of the access and also hung out with some students in their booths to try and get my own version of the classic 'welding sparks flying' shot.
I constantly try to push my own abilities and 1/8th handheld is pushing pretty hard! The wide angle lens, high-ish ISO, little bit o' flash and Joe McNally's patented stance all came together and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out and I LOVE the lens flare. I wish you could see just a little more of his hand and the welding equipment.

Looking down on Harvard's Weld Boat House from the Anderson Bridge on the Charles River. (The bridge was recently restored.)
A.G. Welding is a fabrication shop specializing in custom metalwork for manufacturing and visual displays as well as architectural and furniture components. The business is located in Garfield Park. A fun place to visit...so many specialized machines and projects underway! Great to see a thriving industry in our city that is so full of sad reminders of industries lost.

Another busy day today. Have to work again tonight, this time at another school.
This was yesterday, a great day for photoshooting :)
Busy, but I will catch up later...
An ironworker from Diamond Steel Construction starts welding the 2"x2" square bars to the deck of the 60' QTTX flat car. The 80-ton GE has 8' wheelbase trucks, so 10' bars were welded to the deck to act as rails.

Having just pulled the rails to stress them, a Thermic weld is dropped to join them. Here the rails are undergoing pre-heat in order to ensure that they are hot enough for the molten metal to fuse correctly to them.
