We're exploring enameling on steel lately, and with liquid enamels and with welding too. No sense in attacking one variable at a time when you can get yourself caught up in snowball rolling down hill of cascading effects.
The steel is very interesting material and has a certain degree of flexibility that enameled copper does not. it also lends itself well to welding, which opens a whole new avenue for secondary operations on the enameled piece.
This pair of opposed dangles is about 2in (55mm) long.
This shot was taken using grade 8 welding glass. The bulb is as old as i can remember and used to be completely red. I think the coating has burned off the bulb leaving what looks like dust / fingerprints. I can assure you that it's not (i tried to clean it off lol). I'm pretty sure i have another one of these bulbs lying about so ill try and dig it out and have a re-shoot.

Vietnam - On the way through the Sapa valley, I met three men who were doing some welding on some huge iron pipes. Here is one of the men.

i was smart and focused my camera before the welding began. i want to keep my eyes and don't want to fry them by looking into a lense. the light is so bright and hot.

Shooting this, you want to use live view to avoid serious damage to your eyes. The intensity might not be good for the cameras sensor either, but I haven't seen any ill effects yet.

A 3 minute exposure in broad daylight using welding glass rubberbanded to the front of my lens hood. I completely eliminated the green thanks to shooting in .RAW and white blancing the crap out of it... But then it just felt like it was missing something so I added back a touch of green :-).
This is for Rosco who let me try out his welding lens and I finally got to play but probably not on the best very cold dull late afternoon. It was pretty dirty, well just not lacking the finess and clarity of a proper filter and needed a 2 minute exposure which is probably why everything was an interesting shade of green. So looks better as a mono. Might try it again on a bright sunny day.
Do not take long exposures because I can't carry a heavy tripod however since trying out a carbon one last week I might get back into this when the weather warms up. Still have a problem crouching though because of my Fibromyalgia and arthritis
I need to give some of my regular haunts a new look.
