What's he doing with that welding screen up? Adds a whole new meaning to "flash" photography.

Nice capture of the welding process!

Isn't that going to cause him to go blind???

Talking of going blind - here's one of my favorites from Silverstone

Sorry, yes I am going straight to hell I know - the horizon isn't level...

you know what I like about that 1st photo?, the tools on the bench such nice tones to them...crop the back of the blokes head out and a little off the side and I think it looks much better.

Lovely car that. Couldn't you ask that young lady to get out of the way, though?

She kept insisting it was her job!

I had to slap on the 17-35 wide jobby, just to try and work around her... LOL

... you might like one of the other versions then

That would look great as a toned B&W shot I bet

 

[Vic Shaw]

just check out the tones on them tools! ( am I sad?)

maybe the crop looks a tad tighter then I thought, but I think it's the way to go.

.... lol, i was just digging out the monochrome/split toned one

... i have many versions of this image!

 

[Graeme Harvey]

Sepia toned with a 17mm lens?

 

[Hamish Gill]

another one for you

 

[Vic Shaw]

I did think about B&W but the tools just need to be colour, the small splash of the red handle adds so much to the shot (ffs don't selective colour it please ). I'm drawn to them straight away and them all over the rest of the tones. Now I love B&W but I really dont think it 'works' here.

[Vic Shaw]

[Hamish Gill]

it was shot at 55mm 200iso f/2.8 1/125th

yeah your prob right, my faves are the first one and the sepia one... its just an image i have come back to and tinkered with to see what "effect" can be gotten a lot of times... one of those favorite images, tinkerd with a lot... im sure most people have done the same

 

[Hamish Gill]

oh please no

lol.... what else wouldnt you like done to it and il see if i have done it

 

[Vic Shaw]

I think I would have maybe just cropped and played with the tones, so any other version would be out.

I tend not to revist photos once they're done. I don't know why. I guess maybe the 1st version is the one that I liked enough to save, if I don't like it for any reason I tend not to save it.

Ahh, I'm a terminal tinkerer ... I have so many versions of this as I was trying to make one interesting for the "under construction" page of my web site a few years back ... I setled on the first one...
It has also been used a few times when learning techniques in lightroom ... Those are just the ones i can find... I have a good few more

 

[Vic Shaw]

I tinker also but never save more then one version, maybe I should, but then again I nearly always forget how I got to the end result. Which can be a pain.
